The Charlie Glass Series
Four novels. One agent. A growing collection of cases that move from the war-torn streets of Baghdad to the highest, most corrupt corridors of power. Read them in order — or pick the one that finds you.
War-torn Iraq. Stolen treasure. A team no one can trust.
An ancient artefact disappears from a Baghdad museum during the chaos of occupation. Sixteen years later, a single piece resurfaces in a London auction house. Charlie Glass is sent in to ask the questions no one wants answered — and finds out, very quickly, that the people who stole it are still in the business of keeping it.
Power. Vengeance. A criminal world with its own laws.
A trafficked artefact leads Charlie into an organisation that calls itself a church and operates like a state. Beneath the marble of an old European city, she finds an economy of stolen relics — and the men who treat priceless history as a private currency. To bring them down she will have to walk into their cathedral. Unarmed.
An ancient map. A modern conspiracy. History bleeds.
A thirteenth-century map said to predict the location of a forgotten library surfaces in private hands. The men hunting for it have already killed three scholars. When Charlie picks up the trail in Barcelona, she realises the map isn’t valuable for what it shows — it is valuable for what someone, eight hundred years ago, was desperately trying to hide.
Corruption carved into the very foundations of power.
A senator dies in a way that should not have been possible. A junior aide vanishes the same week. Charlie is brought into an inquiry that begins as a single thread and turns into a load-bearing column of a building she did not know she was standing inside. By the time she sees the structure, half of it is already pointed at her.
Where to start
The Charlie Glass series can be read in any order, but Baghdad Heist is where her story — and the story behind every case that follows — begins.
