The Peter Ashton series is Clive Egleton’s most extensive work, following a British intelligence officer through 12 novels published between 1993 and 2005. Starting with Hostile Intent, the series captures the uncertainty of post-Cold War espionage — the old enemies have changed, new threats have emerged, and the rules of the intelligence game are being rewritten.
Ashton’s assignments take him from A Killing in Moscow and Death Throes through increasingly complex scenarios involving blood money, honey traps, and renegade operations. Egleton’s own military background and knowledge of intelligence structures give the series a procedural authenticity that elevates it above standard thriller fare.
