Bridge has been deskbound and in therapy for three years after her first field mission in Syria went disastrously wrong. But now one of her best friends has been murdered, and Bridge believes his death is connected to strange posts appearing on the internet carrying encrypted hidden messages. On decoding the messages she discovers evidence of a mole inside a top-secret Anglo-French military drone project. Her MI6 bosses force her back into the field, sending her undercover in France to find and expose the mole... who may also be her friend s killer. But the truth behind the Exphoria code is far worse than she could have imagined... "Antony Johnston is a talent to watch and this, his latest entry into the world of espionage, is a treat." — Anthony Horowitz

BRIDGE IS BACK. In The Exphoria Code, elite MI6 hacker Brigitte Sharp foiled a terror attack on London that used stolen military drone software to deliver a ‘dirty bomb’.

When she discovers the campaign is linked to a cyber-attack on the London G20 summit, Bridge is drawn into the dark-web world of cryptocurrencies, Russian hackers and an African rebel militia. In another compelling thriller from the creator of Atomic Blonde, MI6 races against time to prevent a disaster that could destroy the balance of global power forever.

In her toughest challenge yet, Bridge ventures undercover into the heart of the mysterious Patrios network. Her task? To make sense of the growing chaos before darkness and bloodshed engulf Europe. If a powerful enemy doesn’t get her first...
