Artie isn't a fighter. He hates confrontation.

So why is he the one expected to stop an atrocity?

As a graphic designer at a London agency, Artie Clark is used to odd briefs - but nothing quite like being asked to steal a password from a colleague.

What begins as a favour too awkward to refuse quickly spirals into something far more serious. When he's approached by MI5, Artie begins a second life of covert encounters with dangerous extremists.

Gone is his comfortable routine of tea in his Dalston flat and nights out at the local gay bar. Suddenly, he's navigating a world of big characters with grandiose plans, and trying to stop a monstrous plot before it's too late.

Our Man in Hackney is a darkly comic crime caper that blends espionage, absurdity, and emotional depth. Perfect for fans of Mick Herron, Richard Osman or early Ben Aaronovitch, it's a witty, warm-hearted debut with bite, exploring how ordinary people can get caught up in extraordinary situations.
