Hodder Signs Up Former Commander For Thrillers
Posted at 7:50AM Monday 05 Jul 2010
Roger Pearce, former Commander of Special Branch pens two thrillers for Hodder. Roger's experience of running surveillance and undercover operations against terrorists and extremists has given him a unique insight. His writing is packed with real-life details and observations which makes his work terrifyingly realistic. The first book, SENTINEL, features maverick John Kerr, Special Branch, who receives a tip off from MI6 about a Syrian terrorist and unravels a sickening plot that has infiltrated the very heart of the British government. It's an adrenaline-fuelled page-turner. UK & Commonwealth rights acquired for an undisclosed sum by Mark Booth from Sonia Land at Sheil Land Associates. Mark Booth: As soon as I started reading Roger Pearce's script I knew this was something new. Roger's script is driven by a fund of stories from direct personal experience of the secret war being fought in this country, from hand to hand fighting on the streets to briefings with Tony Blair at Number 10. Other writers may imagine how the undercover war is fought, the shifting alliances of the major players on the world stage. Roger knows.
