'Oliver Harris is an outstanding writer' The Times

'One of our finest thriller writers' Evening Standard

'Firmly in the Mick Herron class' Telegraph

Midwinter in Pyongyang.

Kane walks the streets alone: the last British diplomat left in what passes for an embassy, tasked with keeping it running after the mysterious death of his predecessor. London's instructions are simple: maintain a presence and stay out of trouble.

Then a young Korean woman disappears in Britain, and trouble comes for him.

For Katherine Taylor, senior analyst on the MI6 North Korea desk, the vanishing of Jinhee Park initially looks like another missing tourist. But evidence soon begins to point elsewhere - to a conspiracy stretching from London through Seoul to the heart of Pyongyang.

To unravel it, she needs Kane.

As Taylor races to prevent a catastrophe in Britain, Kane is dragged through the looking glass - from the sealed world of Pyongyang to the bright chaos of Seoul - across a peninsula divided by a war that never truly ended.

And one that may be about to begin again.

A gripping literary thriller of espionage, deception and geopolitical intrigue, Winter Mirror confirms Oliver Harris as one of the most intelligent and compelling voices in contemporary fiction.

PRAISE FOR THE SHAME ARCHIVE

'Enthralling ... Harris steadily cranks up the tension... What really lifts the book is the seemingly authentic portrayal of the sleazy interface where Britain's venal ruling elite meets Russian dirty money' Financial Times

'A relentless thriller that deep dives into the digital battlefields where future wars will be fought' Irish Times

Captivating and horrifying at once, a completely plausible evocation of the putrid morass that is the British Establishment and its craven capitulation to Russian money... Oliver Harris is squarely in the territory of the greats: Greene and le Carré but also the modern masters, Mick Herron and Adam Brookes' Manda Scott

'A flawless political thriller: gripping, smart and hugely enjoyable' Charlotte Philby
