The Jude Lyon series by Simon Conway began with The Stranger in 2021, followed by The Saboteur and The Survivor in 2022. The trilogy follows intelligence operative Jude Lyon through a connected set of crises spanning Westminster, Syria, refugee camps in Jordan, and East London.
The Stranger was named Times Thriller of the Year, and the series draws heavily on Conway’s own experience in conflict zones. The books deal with terrorism, Russian intelligence operations, and the political machinery behind both, written by someone who has worked in the kind of environments where these stories take place.
