Book Description

Publication Date: 2 Jun 2009

The legendary Independent Agent is dying . . . so who will inherit his hoard of secret information and fabulous secrets?

For most of the last century, he was the greatest spy in the world, but now The Independent Agent is retiring, he has decided on one last great game - the six greatest spies in the world today must work together - and compete against each other - to solve the six greatest mysteries in the world. Whoever wins the game will also win The Agent's priceless treasure-trove of information. Eddie Drood, aka Shaman Bond, has been invited to join the great game, and of course he can't say no, especially when he learns what the mysteries are - everything from the Tunguska Incident to the Philadelphia Experiment, to whatever the hell it was really happened at Roswell. But that means he needs to survive working alongside old friends and old enemies . . . especially when the spies start dying, one by one . . .

And one of them is going to haunt him . . . for the rest of his life.

THE SPY WHO HAUNTED ME is the third of the Secret Histories: a riveting roller-coaster ride through the dark side.

4.0 out of 5 stars None of us can be trusted. We're all agents 7 Jun 2009
By E. A Solinas HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
"My name is Drood; Eddie Drood. Also known as Shaman Bond, the very secret agent. I face down the monsters, so you don't have to."

The first two books of the Secret Histories series was all about the nasty secrets and political upheavals of the Drood family -- and now at last, it's time for the dark-fantasy-James-Bond stuff. The third book "The Spy Who Haunted Me" is where the series really starts to take flight, with a murder mystery wrapped up in a lurid string of supernatural conspiracies -- from elves to aliens, from ancient monsters to angry ghosts.

After Eddie thwarts a bizarre caper in the Tower of London, he's called home to hear of a new problem facing the Droods -- there's a traitor among them, who is responsible for some of the nasty stuff they've dealt with.

Unfortunately the only person who knows the traitor's identity is the legendary Independent Agent, Alexander King -- and since King is dying, he's holding a special contest to discover which secret agent is worthy of inheriting his secrets and vast knowledge. Eddie is one of the chosen six -- along with the treacherous Blue Fairy, a pair of real-life Bond girls (one CIA, one a lethal seductress), King's fussy corporate grandson, and the mysterious Walker of the Nightside.

The unlikely team is given five tasks to complete, all of them tracking powerful, horrible creatures across the universe -- Loch Ness, the elven world, Tunguska and so on. But then people start turning up with broken necks, and it becomes clear that someone is murdering agents so they can get the prize. And it turns out the Independent Agent has some nasty little tricks up his sleeve for anyone who tries to get his knowledge...... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Simon Green never fails to produce 9 May 2009
By P. A. Brandon
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another masterpiece from Simon Green following hot on the heels of The Man with the Golden Torc and Daemons are Forever comes the third instalment of the Secret Histories stories.
This time Shaman Bond/Edwin Drood gets invited to be part of a game involving 6 of the best spies with a grand prize of winner takes all (all the secrets that the organiser possesses).
The usual mix of action (some of it bloody) and humour plus Simon's ability to weave the likes of Loch Ness and Roswell into the plot makes this a great read.
You may guess the outcome before the end but it is still well worth it.
Roll on the From Hell with Love!

4.0 out of 5 stars Simon Green does it again 23 Sep 2009
By Tuomioistuinmies
Format:Paperback
I am a big fan of the Nightside series and was somewhat sceptical when the first book of this series ("The Man With The Golden Torc") appeared. I liked it but was not massively impressed. There was definite improvement in #2 ("Daemons Are Forever") which featured a hero from another Simon Green series (Giles ...).
I received "The Spy Who Haunted Me" a few days ago and have to say that Simon Green has found his style for this series : Fastpaced and (as always) with a portion of humor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Episodic, But Still Fun 29 Dec 2011
By David Ford
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The last two books in this series have been traditional action thrillers in terms of structure. Perhaps boldly, Green decides to go in a slightly different direction for this one; it's not entirely successful, but one can only applaud him for the risk.

Eddie Drood is stripped of his usual allies for this one, as he is sent to join a group of the world's most prominent agents competing for a legendary spy's accumulated knowledge. Said spy assigns the group a series of mysteries to investigate, and these challenges form the bulk of the novel.

Because of this, the story comes off as less of a continuous tale, and more like a collection of short stories linked by theme and protagonists. While all of the mysteries are fairly different (everything from Loch Ness to Tunguska), the similar structure of each chapter leaves this installment feeling slightly more repetitive than the first two.

There are still many pluses; Green, as ever, is a master of pacy action and extreme violence, throwing huge beasts and pychic horrors into the mix. The main group is an enjoyable assortment as well, including CIA fox Honey and Eddie's erstwhile betrayer the Blue Fairy. After the last book gave us a Deathstalker cameo, this one works in a guest from Green's Nightside books, an addition that works well.

The plot takes plenty of twists and turns on the way to the conclusion, with backstabbing and turnabouts aplenty. The fact that the team are ultimately in competition for one prize adds an extra element of tension to proceedings as well.

On the whole, a brave attempt to do something a little different with the series, although now that the experiment's over, I hope that Eddie's next adventure is slightly more business as usual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Romp 29 July 2009
By Robert
Format:Paperback
I found this an enjoyable book full of references to existing conspiracy theories. It does not take itself seriously and all in all was a good romp through the occult.

4.0 out of 5 stars Usual quality and consumability of Simor Green 17 May 2012
By Kurt Nielsen
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having read a fair few Simon Green novels in my time, I can recommend this novel to anyone who likes a fast paced alternative reality setting, where James Bond, MIB and good old english humor blends effortlessly into a book which is very, very difficult to put down.
This is not War and Peace or catch 22, but it is well worth a read!
