The dark side of espionage... Joe Johnson's investigation into a horrific wartime killing on an iconic bridge is thrown off track by his former CIA boss, who once hired him, then later fired him. Now, decades later, he's trying to kill him. Former spy Johnson's war crimes inquiry begins in some of Europe's most beautiful locations, but takes on a new dimension when it uncovers high level corruption within the Agency-his old employer. It culminates in an electrifying hunt for a killer in New York City and London. Johnson and his ex-MI6 colleague Jayne Robinson literally walk a minefield while searching for an army officer who vanished after the Yugoslav civil war with a secret dossier linked to the White House. The search takes them to Mostar and Dubrovnik. They end up fending off powerful intelligence agency leaders with vested interests. The Old Bridge is the second taut thriller in the Joe Johnson series. See how Johnson draws on all his resources to uncover the truth about what happened several decades earlier, while battling against dark forces that are working against him.

An eponymous 450-year-old bridge is one of the key players. Premeditated murders were committed on the bridge in the midst of battle during the Balkans war. A relative of the dead is imbued with deep-seated hatred triggered 20 years later. The opportunity to extract revenge is irresistible.
The Old Bridge is more than a revenge story. Ex-CIA agent and war crimes investigator Joe Johnson is hired to find a dossier compiled during the war people in high places don’t want revealed. One of those people is a high-profile television journalist.
Joe is joined by Jayne Robinson, a former MI6 agent. They discover his ex-CIA boss, Robert Watson, also to stop them finding the dossier – and uncovering other activities in which Watson is involved.
The web Andrew Turpin weaves is complex and complicated. But his clear and concise writing make for a rewarding reading experience. The avenger, the television journalist, the dossier and other thrilling threads are drawn together to culminate in a dramatic climax in New York. The novel is steeped in history and has a strong sense of place and time. Andrew’s former career as a journalist is apparent in the tight writing and meticulous research.
The Old Bridge is the second in the Joe Johnson series. The Last Nazi was the first and the third is Bandit Country. (
