Jake Brody - Private Spy, the gritty protagonist of Jason Disley’s noir-infused spy thrillers, is a Manchester-based private eye navigating the shadowy underbelly of 1960s Britain. Introduced in Seven Day Fool, Brody is a down-on-his-luck detective whose mundane routine is shattered when a mysterious woman hires him to find a missing Polish girl. What follows is a whirlwind week through Manchester’s mod subculture, tangled with gangsters, scandal, and murder.

In Take It Or Leave It, set in 1966, Brody’s reputation earns him a summons to London, where British Intelligence ropes him into a dangerous mission involving Cold War intrigue, the theft of the Jules Rimet trophy, and a confrontation with an old adversary. The stakes are personal and political, with national security hanging in the balance.
