An Ian Caine Novel
by Paul John Evans
THE SWORD OF MOLOCH, the first in the Ian Caine novel series, is a spy thriller. The recipe for this book is one-third the rogue professionalism of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels, one-third the high-stakes intelligence conspiracy of John le Carré's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and one-third the deadly precision of Killing Eve's Villanelle.
“"Paul, we just finished your book; it is excellent. So many unexpected twists and turns and amazingly complex characters. Bravo!"”

Paul Evans is Welsh-born. A former law enforcement officer with weapons and tactical training. Storyteller, poet, musician and novelist, his home, like that of his protagonist, is among the sea islands in Beaufort, South Carolina, with his wife, Sara and their three Aussie Doodles, Beau, Duke and Maisie.
Evans brings an authentic, insider's perspective to the world of espionage and tactical operations. Like his protagonist, Ian Caine, Evans is Welsh-born and possesses a rich background, including a distinguished career as a former police detective with extensive weapons, forensic, and tactical training. This real-world experience adds a layer of palpable authenticity to the high-stakes narrative. Fans of the genre will be delighted to know that The Sword of Moloch is just the beginning and has been optioned by a production company in LA, with Welsh Actor Owain Yeoman signed on to play the lead. Evans is already deeply involved in writing the second installment of what is planned to be a thrilling five-book series centered on the adventures of Ian Caine.
