This big canvas international spy thriller marks the beginning of a brilliant new direction for Rory Clements.
After a career in national newspapers, British author Rory Clements
now lives in a seventeenth-century farmhouse in Norfolk and writes
full time. When not immersing himself in the Elizabethan world, he
enjoys village life and a game of tennis with friends. He is
married to the artist Naomi Clements-Wright.
Clements's books have sold more than one million copies to date. He
has won the Crime Writers' Association Historical Fiction Award
twice – in 2010 for Revenger and in 2018 for Nucleus. His
bestselling series include the Tom Wilde series, which is made up
of mid-20th century spy thrillers, as well as the John Shakespeare
series, which is set in Elizabethan England. His latest book is a
WWII thriller set in Munich, Evil in High Places (2025). Adam Sims
is a LAMDA-trained stage, film and voice actor. His recordings for
radio include BBC's The World According to Humphrey and The
Salamander Letter. He is also the narrator of numerous audiobooks,
including titles by Haruki Murakami, Louise Penny and Max Brooks.
Sims’s film and theatre credits include Band of Brothers (HBO),
Lost in Space, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Regent’s Park) and Snake
in Fridge (Manchester Royal Exchange), for which he won the award
for Best Actor at the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards.
'Dramatic ... pacy and assured ... Well crafted, it has all the
pleasures of an intriguing lead character, intricate plot and
fascinating historical context.'
*The Daily Mail*
'Rory Clements's timely spy thriller set in the 1930s evokes a
period of political polarisation, mistrust and simmering violence.
Corpus is fast-paced and there are plenty of red herrings to keep
you guessing.'
*The Times*
'Rich in deceptions and intrigue ... a standout historical novel
and spy thriller'
*The Daily Express*
