**PRE-ORDER AGRIPPA NOW: THE THRILLING NEW NOVEL FROM ROBERT HARRIS, COMING AUGUST 2026**

THE WORLD’S GREATEST CONSPIRACY THEORY IS ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED.

‘An unputdownable thriller about corrupt power and sex’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
‘Guaranteed to keep you awake’ THE TIMES

A body washes up on the deserted coastline of America’s most exclusive holiday retreat. But it’s no open-and-shut case of suicide. The death of Robert McAra is just the first piece of the jigsaw in an extraordinary plot that will shake the very foundations of international security.

For McAra was a man who knew too much. As ghostwriter to one of the most controversial men on the planet – Britain’s former prime minister, holed up in a remote ocean-front house to finish his memoirs – he stumbled across secrets which cost him his life.

When a new ghostwriter is sent out to rescue the project it could be the opportunity of a lifetime. Or the start of a deadly assignment propelled by deception and intrigue – from which there will be no escape . . .

‘Brilliantly persuasive, right up to the last page of its astonishing and unpredictable conclusion’ ECONOMIST
‘Truly gripping’ SUNDAY TIMES
