Summary
Nick Hellyer faces the spy's ultimate dilemma. He is tasked to infiltrate a chemical weapons program and destroy it. But in the process, lives will be lost.
His struggles with issues of complicity and guilt are set against a background of the guerrilla insurgency in Mozambique and the army plan to overthrow the Portuguese dictatorship in 1974. He succeeds in aligning himself with the coup plotters and participates in the virtually bloodless overthrow of the government. However, the tally of other deaths associated with him continues to pile up.
"People have died because of my actions, but not through my intentions."
An assassination target, fallout from a previous mission, he struggles to separate his lover's professional and personal motivations. At the same time, his participation in nerve gas trials in Mozambique forces him to query his moral compass.
If you enjoy tension and drama, being immersed in a new culture, and feeling and experiencing action through a spy's eyes in a tumultuous revolutionary period, check out Hellyer's Coup now.
For fans of John le Carré, Charles Cumming, Mick Herron, Philip Kerr, and Adam LeBor. Hellyer's Coup is the second Nick Hellyer espionage novel by Philip Prowse.

Thrilling espionage adventure
Hellyer’s Coup is Nick Hellyer’s second adventure in the field of espionage. Having survived the attentions of the Egyptian secret service and Mossad during the late 60s’ Arab-Israeli conflict, he is directed to Portugal in the early 70s. By now he has benefitted Dom his earlier experience and further training and becomes involved in the Portuguese colonial war against FRELIMO in Mozambique and in the April 1974 Carnation revolution in Portugal itself. This story has everything to make it a first-rate spy adventure. At the end Nick is about to be sent on what seems almost planned as a suicide mission. Where will he end up in hid third escapade? Does the 1975 civil war in Beirut beckon? Can’t wait for the next instalment.
