Ava Glass is the author of
the espionage series Alias Emma. A former civil servant and journalist, she
once worked closely with spies, and that experience fuels her writing. Ava is
the pseudonym for an international bestselling author who has written more than
ten crime novels under another name. Her books have been bestsellers in
multiple countries and have been published in more than twenty languages. Alias
Emma is currently being developed for television by The Ink Factory.

Charles Cumming was born in Scotland. He was educated at Eton College (1985-1989)
and the University of Edinburgh (1990-1994), where he graduated with 1st Class
Honours in English Literature. The Observer has described him as "the best
of the new generation of British spy writers who are taking over where John le
Carré and Len Deighton left off".
His first book
A Spy by Nature,
partly based on his experiences with MI6, was published in the UK in
June 2001.

Nick
Harkaway (aka Nicholas Cornwell) is
the fourth son of John le Carré. A highly respected author in his own right, his
novels include The Gone Away World, Gnomon, Titanium Noir
and Sleeper Beach, a second instalment to the Titanium books. In 2021,
after the death of his father, Nick completed the final le Carré’s novel, Silverview,
aiming that his contribution should be as invisible as possible. Last year’s Karla’s
Choice is a continuation of his father’s Smiley novels.
Vaseem Khan writes two award-winning crime series set in India. In
2021, Midnight at Malabar House, the first in the Malabar
House novels set in 1950s Bombay, won the Crime Writers
Association Historical Dagger. His latest is The Girl in Cell A,
a psychological thriller set in small town America. Vaseem is also the author
of the upcoming Quantum of Menace, the first in a series featuring
Q from the James Bond franchise.
