Sam Green’s been promoted. She’s now working out of Moscow as an SIS ‘case officer’ and hates it. She loathes her boss, feels out-of-place among SIS’s elite and loses her only Russian informant to a bomb that also had her name on it.
On the verge of jacking it all in, Sam promises a beautiful stranger that she will find her boyfriend’s murderer. That promise propels her into a web of top-level industrial crime and savage international terrorism. With reliable friends and colleagues in very short supply, Sam starts something she cannot stop. And this time, she’s going to need more than an expert analyst’s eye and a complete disregard for her own safety to prevent the most lethal terror plot since 9/11.

The 3rd in the Sam Green spy thriller series breathlessly follows the lovable, but fallible, Sam Green through Russia chasing another conspiracy - this time it’s oil fracking. It’s rare to find a realistic female protagonist in the heady world of espionage, but Sam Green is a heroine of our time; flawed, OCD but resolute.
Ladley’s detailed, but flowing narrative has been compared to Le Carre and Deighton; Sam Green to a female Jack Reacher - only more edgy and much more prone to tears.
With the books’ cinematic style, it’s not surprising that the first, Unsuspecting Hero, has been turned into a screenplay and is being considered by a well-known British director.

In praise of the Sam Green Series:
‘I feel we have a new author who will make Fleming and Le Carre shift uneasily; Roland Ladley has mastered the art of blending convincing narrative and engaging characters into a read that satisfies and leaves you wanting another dose.’
‘Unique, compelling, surprising.’
‘Sam Green is an intriguing and relatable protagonist and her portrayal as the female lead is refreshingly different from anything I've encountered to date.’
‘I have been converted to a raging Sam Green fan!’

About the author:
Roland Ladley’s detailed, but flowing narrative has been compared to Le Carre and Deighton; Sam Green, his ‘flawed but resolute’ protagonist, to a female Jack Reacher - ‘only more edgy and much more prone to tears.’ His second spy thriller in the Sam Green series, Fuelling the Fire, won a publishing contract with Kindle Scout and went on to become a best-seller in its genre. His other five books, Unsuspecting Hero, The Innocence of Trust, For Good Men To Do Nothing, On The Back Foot To Hell and Blood Red Earth, have been equally well reviewed in both the UK and the US.
If espionage is your bag - and you’re after realistic, up-to-date conspiracy thrillers with a strong female lead - then the Sam Green series is waiting for you.
To bring realism to his writing Roland Ladley draws upon twenty-five years military service, including complex tours of Bosnia, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone. Subsequent work as a teacher enables him to communicate lucidly to a wide audience, and two grown-up daughters ensures he can laugh at himself and find comic moments in his writing when the tension is at its greatest.
Now a full time writer based in Bristol, UK, he lives an itinerant lifestyle with his wife in their motorhome, posting a travel/writing blog and marketing his six Sam Green novels. With the books’ cinematic style, it’s not surprising that the first, Unsuspecting Hero, has been turned into a mini-series screenplay and is being considered by a well-known British director.
