In "She Doesn't Exist" a teenage boy's life was thrown upside down and inside out when he met Rosaline Harman and wound up with a secret life and a broken heart. Three years after the girl he loved was buried, Russell Duvall finds his life almost back to normal. He's moved on from his time as an agent for the Underground Quarter and is now a college student living with his girlfriend, Bethany, a government analyst. Thoughts of the murderess who had captured his heart still fill his mind daily and although he won't mention her to anyone, Russell knows that Rosaline will always be in his heart, no matter where his life takes him. Content with the normal life, Russell expects destiny to run its course and take him down the same path as so many others; the path with a wife, a family and a career and he's more than happy with that ideal, already imagining family life and the dream of growing old happily. However, when a familiar black motorbike and its rider appear to be following him everywhere, Russell starts to wonder whether his mind is playing tricks on him or whether the ghosts of his past really are wandering about the city. Soon, the reality of the perfect country he lives in is shattered and his freedom compromised when an old friend becomes the centre of a government investigation in which the penalty is death. Russell finds himself falling back into the dark, dangerous world that he left three years earlier and reunited with people who he thought he'd never see again, before finding out that he soon has to make hard decisions and decide what life he really wants... All before the noose is tightened.

Life has never been the same for Hector Kane since he was ousted from the CIA two years ago. His marriage to the intelligent and beautiful Yubi is unraveling after the death of their only son. His teaching job at an elite university in the Middle East has failed to fulfill him as he had hoped. His heart and mind are still caught up in his adventurous past as a spy. So, when the CIA offers him a chance to return, he accepts without hesitation. This could be his only opportunity to salvage his marriage and live the life he always dreamed of. His mission seems deceptively simple: take his wife and five of his students to a romantic island in the South China Sea. More details will be revealed in Asia. However, once in Asia, things become increasingly bizarre. Hector starts to question the nature of his mission when the CIA instructs him to infect one of his students with a deadly virus. As if that isn't enough, Hector soon receives a call from a Saudi prince claiming that Yubi is a spy for the Chinese government-and that she has seduced and kidnapped the prince's son. Unable to confide in the CIA, Hector is forced to act alone. He must reevaluate his relationship with his wife and rethink everything he believed about his marriage, his mission, and himself. "A knotty and satisfying tale of action, drama, and secrets." - Kirkus Reviews "Engrossing... Hawkes keeps the twists coming... Fans of superior post-Cold War spy fiction will be satisfied." - Publishers Weekly
