Kisses From Nimbus

Shot at, bombed, imprisoned and arrested for murder. His is the story the establishment doesn't want you to read. br>Captain P. J. 'Red' Riley is an ex-SAS soldier who served for eighteen years as an MI6 agent. Riley escaped internment in Chile during the Falklands war during an audacious top-secret attempt to attack the Argentinian mainland. He was imprisoned in the darkness of the Sierra Leonean jungle, and withstood heavy fire in war-torn Beirut and Syria. In 2015, he was arrested for murder but all charges were later dropped. In this searing memoir, Riley reveals the brutal realities of his service, and the truth behind the newspaper headlines featuring some of the most significant events in recent British history. His account provides startling new evidence on the Iraq war, what Tony Blair really knew about Saddam Hussain's weapons of mass destruction before the allied invasion, and questions the British government's alleged involvement in the death of Princess Diana. Chaotic, darkly humorous and at times heart-wrenchingly sad, Kisses From Nimbus charts the harrowing real-life experiences of a soldier and spy in the name of Queen and country.

Born in 1946 in Lancashire P.J 'Red' Riley joined the British Army at the age of eighteen.

In 1989, when Riley left the army he was quickly recruited by MI6 where he served until 2015. Now retired, Riley splits his time between the UK and Spain.
