About this listen

The second book in Charles Cumming’s gripping thriller series surrounding BOX 88 – a covert intelligence organization that operates below the radar.

A spy in one of the most dangerous places on Earth…
1993: Student Lachlan Kite is sent to post-Soviet Russia in the guise of a language teacher. In reality, he is there as a spy. Top secret intelligence agency BOX 88 has ordered Kite to extract a chemical weapons scientist before his groundbreaking research falls into the wrong hands. But Kite’s mission soon goes wrong and he is left stranded in a hostile city with a former KGB officer on his trail.

An old enemy looking for revenge…
2020: Now the director of BOX 88 operations in the UK, Kite discovers he has been placed on the ‘JUDAS’ list – a record of enemies of Russia who have been targeted for assassination. Kite’s fight for survival takes him to Dubai, where he must confront the Russian secret state head on…

Who will come out on top in this deadly game of cat and mouse?

‘Judas 62 has all you could want from a tense, topical and intelligent spy thriller’ The Times Books of the Year

Critic reviews

‘The first Kite novel was excellent, but this is even better — an elegant exposition of what being a spy in the field actually feels like and the fear it can instil in even the most hardened operator. Superbly constructed, it never hurries, but evokes the world of espionage in a way the late John le Carre would have much admired’ Daily Mail

‘This sequel to Cumming’s stunning Box 88 is further proof that the author is one of the most adroit practitioners of the espionage art; the spycraft involving a covert intelligence group operating below the radar is nonpareil’ i

Having listened to a couple of the Kite series I’ve developed a profound dislike of this hero and the general attitude of these novels to women. It all got a bit predictable and dull. Kite is a selfish recidivist - perhaps I’m not meant to like him. But it’s difficult to stick with a hero this 2 dimensional and unsympathetic.

Sadly predictable
