Going Rogue: Agent Heather Slade Breaks Into an Asylum in Kimberley Troutte’s Latest Release – The Intel

I’m thrilled to announce that Book 3 in The Infiltrix series—The Intel—will be released on June 18th! This near-future spy thriller continues the high-stakes journey of undercover American agent Heather Slade, as she faces her most dangerous mission yet.

And trust me… this one is a wild, intense ride.


 

Heather is back with her elite crew of spies, hackers, and recon operatives—Mike, Hammer, Raven, Rat, Roman, and Worm. She trusts them with her life. But when innocent lives are on the line, Heather is willing to go rogue—even if it means breaking every rule in the book.

This time, she uncovers fragments of intel about a secret prison camp run by some seriously bad actors. When her search leads to a critical mistake and her fake father is captured and locked in an asylum, Heather launches a desperate rescue mission. But HQ has other plans: they’ve issued a kill order to silence him before he can spill any secrets.

Will anyone help her defy orders, break into the asylum, and get out alive?

Writing this series has been an absolute thrill. One of the things I’ve loved most is exploring morally complex characters. Heather and her team are far from perfect—they make mistakes, take risks, and blur the lines between right and wrong. That’s intentional. I wanted to create characters who feel real, whose choices make us stop and ask: What would I do in that situation? Which side would I be on?

If you love action-packed spy fiction, emotional depth, and flawed heroes fighting for what’s right in a world that often isn’t, I hope you’ll dive into The Infiltrix series. And if you’ve already started, get ready—The Intel is the most explosive installment yet.

Mark your calendar: June 18.
Agent Heather Slade is going rogue… and you won’t want to miss what happens next.

The Bordeaux Case by HL Marsay

Corkscrews, grand crus and cracking crimes.

Emma came to Bordeaux in search of the perfect claret, but instead found a cunning killer…

Emma King is half English, half French but one hundred percent disorganised. As the new head wine buyer for her family’s business, she has a keen palate, generous heart and a fiercely loyal nature. Nervous about her promotion, she’s relieved to be spending her first week of wine tasting events at the historic Château Montfleur, the home of old family friends Henri and Céleste. Joining her on her tour of the beautiful vineyards of Bordeaux are some other familiar faces: Paddy, a fellow wine buyer, Kiara, a travel blogger, Vanessa, the wine critic from hell, and the handsome, but arrogant Nico Lambert, Emma’s college crush.

On the first morning, Henri and Celeste’s new wealthy neighbour, Lucas, is found murdered and her hosts’ son, Oscar is the prime suspect. Convinced her childhood friend is no killer, Emma doggedly investigates, enlisting the reluctant help of her companions. As clues reveal more connections to Château Montfleur, Emma must tread a thin line between a dismissive chief inspector and a desperate killer.


Shadows in Chinatown by Jolie Tunnell

Karine Kelly’s dream of a fresh start as a mail-order bride in booming 1882 San Francisco becomes a nightmare when her charming Irish husband is murdered on their wedding night. Waking to destitute widowhood and fiercely angry in-laws, she discovers a series of shocking secrets that her husband left behind.

Why did he tell no one about their wedding? Why was a Chinese assailant hunting him and now stalking her? Why do residents in the city shadows seem to know more about her husband than she does? And why does the irritating Detective Max Fisher keep turning up like a bad penny?

Faced with appalling apathy and growing suspicion from the police, Karine’s determined to follow the trail of lies to find justice in a lawless city.

Warily working around each other as the killer strikes again, Karine and Detective Fisher uncover a sinister web of corruption, bigotry, and betrayals that circles ever closer to the jade pendant she wears over her heart—all that’s left of her husband’s pledge—and a ticking bomb that threatens to destroy Chinatown.


Still Life and Death by Tracy Gardner

A murder at the flower shop. An uncle suspected by the cops. Savanna and her sisters are on the case to make sure no one is framed.

Savanna Shepherd is delighted when her uncles Max and Freddie move to Carson and Uncle Max takes a job at Libby’s Blooms, where Savanna teaches a still life painting class. But while opening one morning, Uncle Max finds a dead body in the rooftop greenhouse…and even worse, it looks like an inside job.

It’s an uncomfortable spotlight for the family already trying to dodge a potential scandal brewing: Savanna’s boyfriend’s daughter is in her art class, setting off wagging tongues. Savanna and her sisters have no choice except to dig in to find the real murderer.

With their connections to the community and Savanna’s keen eye for details, they uncover longstanding resentments and a few subtle horticultural clues. But as Savanna’s investigation leads her into thorny situations, the killer may be arranging to prune yet another life: hers.

An artful cozy mystery perfect for fans of Krista Davis and Joanne Fluke.


The Intel by Kimberley Troutte

Rebel agent Heather Slade leads a dangerous and unsanctioned mission….

When Heather obtains partial intel about a prisoner of war camp from a journalist who dies before revealing the camp’s location, she’s desperate to know more. Her missing family might be held there. Using a voice-altering device to sound like billionare donor Martin Slade, she calls President Blockwell, demanding information about the secret camp. It’s a risky move that backfires when Blockwell’s guards lock Martin in an asylum to torture him for information that could compromise Heather.

Heather’s determined to rescue the billionaire, but HQ orders her to stand down. Their plan is to send a kill team after Martin to protect Heather’s secrets, ending her spy career and the chance to find her missing daughter. Disobeying HQ’s orders, she organizes an off-book mission with agents Miguel Robles, Worm, and Raven to infiltrate the hospital and extract Martin.

If HQ learns she’s inside, they could trigger her kill device, ending more than her career. Heather must stay one step ahead of HQ, but she’s committed to saving Martin and herself…if she survives the insane asylum.


The Other Boy by Heidi Field

When the worst comes calling…

Scott and Blair Bagby are a happy, successful English couple living in the suburbs with their teenage son and Great Dane. Life seems good, until one beautiful spring morning when a detective inspector knocks on their door asking if their son is home, unleashing an unspeakable horror that blows apart the life they thought they had.

Police have discovered bodies buried deep in the Peasedale forest and the inspector suspects one is Jamie, the final victim of a brutal and prolific serial killer. But Jamie’s death is unlike all the others, starting with his emergency phone call that leads to a macabre burial ground near a dilapidated hunting shack and creates shocking suspicions.

With bone deep grief threatening to destroy their marriage and their sanity, Scott and Blair set out to investigate Jamie’s death, a journey that not only upends their perceptions of who they are, but torturously reveals they may not have known Jamie at all…
