A Spy Like Me

A Spy Like Me, by Kim Sherwood, is the second book in the Double O James Bond trilogy.

The Double O series doesn't feature James Bond as the main character but instead introduces a new generation of Double O agents.

Synopsis: An elite team of MI6 agents must go undercover to unravel a smuggling network funding violent terror in the second thrilling adventure in the acclaimed Double O series by Kim Sherwood.

James Bond is alive.

Or at least, he was when he left a clue at the black site where the insidious private military company Rattenfänger held him captive. MI6 cannot spare any more lives attempting to track down one missing agent—no exceptions, even for Bond. But Johanna Harwood, 003, has her own agenda. Sidelined by her superiors while she grieves the loss of a loved one, Harwood goes on an unsanctioned mission: to find 007. Meanwhile, MI6 has another problem…

Available on Amazon USA or Amazon UK/EU (release in April 2024).

Kim Sherwood has a Bond connection: she is the granddaughter of the actor George Baker who made a number of appearances in the James Bond films. Baker most famously played Sir Hilary Bray in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), appeared as a NASA engineer in You Only Live Twice (1967) and appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
