Deep Shelter
Oliver Harris. Harper/Bourbon Street, $15.99 trade paper (448p) ISBN 978-0-06-213672-5
In Harris’s heart-pounding second outing for Det. Constable Nick Belsey (after 2012’s Hollow Man), an unsuccessful manhunt leads Belsey to the entrance of a disused underground bunker in London’s Belsize Park. Upon discovering a cache of champagne and pharmaceuticals in this Cold War–era bomb shelter, Belsey decides to impress his art-student girlfriend, Jemma Stevens, by taking her there. During the underground tour, Jemma vanishes. Belsey, who fears that he’ll be the prime suspect in her disappearance, soon starts receiving taunting messages from Jemma’s kidnapper, who has taken the name of a notorious Soviet spy, Ferryman. Belsey must discover Ferryman’s identity, uncover the secrets of a vast network of shelters underneath London, and avoid capture both by the city’s police force and U.K.security services. His frenetic quest to save Jemma and clear his name will keep readers turning the pages. Agent: George Lucas, Inkwell Management. (Sept.)
