An accidental spy. A web of betrayals. A mystery that will take you around the world . . .

Gabriel Dax is a young man haunted by the memories of a tragedy: every night, when sleep finally comes, he dreams about his childhood home in flames. His days are spent on the move as an acclaimed travel writer, capturing changing landscapes in the grip of the Cold War. When he’s offered the chance to interview a political figure, his ambition leads him unwittingly into the shadows of espionage.

As Gabriel’s reluctant initiation takes hold, he is drawn deeper into duplicity. Falling under the spell of Faith Green, an enigmatic and ruthless MI6 handler, he becomes ‘her spy’, unable to resist her demands. But amid the peril, paranoia and passion consuming Gabriel’s new covert life, it will be the revelations closer to home that change the rest of his story . . .

Under The Stars, by Matt Gaw

Titles you won’t find in bigger bookstores…

We have books that many of the larger stores ignore. Stillwater are in the enviable position of seeking and finding pearls that sometimes sink under the radar of the giants. This means we can give little gems some of the starlight they deserve.

Come and see the catches our nets have brought in…

“I’ll read my books

and I’ll drink coffee

and I’ll listen to music

and I’ll bolt the door.”

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone, whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
