‘Compelling . . . almost Dickensian’ The Times
‘The best thriller writer in the world’ Daily Telegraph
*****
Jonas Merrick. At MI5 they call him ‘the eternal flame’, because he never goes out. Never goes undercover, or on surveillance, or kicking down doors. If he’s studying a map, he’s probably planning his caravan holiday.
But what the hot-shots fail to notice in Jonas is a steely concentration, a ruthless ability to find the enemy who hides in plain sight like a submerged crocodile, waiting for prey.
Cameron Jilkes. A young man from a broken background, trained as a Jihadi in the harshest theatre of war. Coming ashore near Dover, he plans to live unnoticed, before unleashing a terrifying strike.
And this time, Jonas Merrick must go out – to hunt the crocodile himself.
Featuring a chapter from the new Jonas Merrick novel The Foot Soldiers, publishing in 2022

A thrilling story of the secret services, their enemies and the society they operate in, building with unrelenting suspense to a superb climax, ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ is Gerald Seymour writing at the top of his powers. In the office at MI5 where he works, they call Jonas Merrick ‘the eternal flame’. It isn’t a compliment. It’s because he never goes out. He never goes undercover, never does surveillance, never goes with the teams that kick down the doors or seize the suspects off the street. He commutes into work and sits at his desk and then he goes home. But Jonas has qualities the hot-shots fail to notice: a steely concentration, a ruthless ability to focus and find the enemy hiding in plain sight.
