The Watcher

A footloose young graduate replies to a job advertisement and quickly finds himself swept into the world of counter-espionage. His journey through the system eventually places him in a series of difficult and complex situations as he struggles to find his place in this complex and tangled world, where things are rarely as they seem. We follow his journey, which is sometimes humorous and sometimes deadly serious, as he finds out about himself and journeys through the world of subterfuge and treachery. The author has applied a blowtorch to the world of “spookery” in a humorous and insightful exposure of the deep state.

The author is a retired surgeon who writes in a somewhat whimsical style. He mainly writes short stories but occasionally essays into the Novella format. His extensive life experience has given him insights into many life situations. He has travelled and worked in many environments and countries, which provides scope for his fiction and colours his acerbic views of the human condition.
