Pirate by Ted Bell

Lord Alexander Hawke — MI6’s deadliest aristocrat — is pulled into a global conspiracy that begins with a ship hijacking and spirals into an international arms nightmare. As Hawke follows a trail from the Caribbean to Tokyo, he uncovers a covert plan involving stolen weapons systems, rogue governments, and a traitor hidden in plain sight. High-speed chases, deep-cover spying, and naval warfare collide. A standout twist comes when a trusted ally’s true allegiance snaps the entire mission sideways, forcing Hawke into a brutal final showdown.
