The Avengers: Death in Downing Street by David Crichton

The Avengers: Death in Downing Street by David Crichton

An action-packed story set in the extraordinary world of the classic English spy show. John Steed, top professional, and his partner Emma Peel, talented amateur, are back to save the Prime Minister from the diabolical masterminds plotting to bring him down.

It’s May 1967. Prime Minister Harold Wilson is determined to take the UK into the European Economic Community – a move that’s divisive amongst politicians, the trade unions and the man and woman on the street. But there’s a problem: After an attempted assassination attempt, Mr Wilson starts exhibiting some very odd behaviour.

With only days to go before the Government’s application deadline, the Ministry must call upon two of its most trusted assets: Mr John Steed and Mrs Emma Peel. Together they must find the diabolical masterminds behind the plot to bring down Downing Street and answer the many questions surrounding the case:

Why does the Prime Minister think he’s an eight-year-old boy? Is there a traitor in the Cabinet? And who’s to blame for recent events: the anti-European trade unions or the militant Europhiles?

David Crichton is a professional writer who spends most of his time crafting marketing copy for clients in his role as Creative Director at an award-winning brand and digital agency. He’s a published non-fiction author, who’s turning his hand to novels with the release of Death in Downing Street. Dave wasn’t even born when The Avengers finished its television run in the 1960s, but like many others, he fell in love with the programme during repeats in the 90s. He lives in the Midlands with his wife and daughters, who indulge his addiction to vintage tv.
