When MI5 agent-runner Liz Carlyle is moved from Counter-Terrorism to the Industrial Espionage Section, it looks very much as if she has been sidelined. While vetting the director of a top-secret research establishment in the Peak District, however, Liz realises that her subject is lying to her and is a potential blackmail risk. Other more malign forces have arrived at the same conclusion, and soon a lethal Intelligence game is in play. With Martine Charrat, her opposite number in the French secret service, Liz is drawn into a desperate race. But as Liz soon discovers, their unknown enemies hold all the cards.

Review:

Praise for "At Risk": " This is something very rare: the spy novel that prizes authenticity over fabrication." - "Mail on Sunday" " Tense and terrifying." - "Cosmopolitan" " A cracking good thriller" - Lynn Barber, "Observer" " Intelligent -- Undeniably pacy" - "Guardian" " Rimington makes adroit use of her expertise as former MI5 chief" - "Sunday Times" " The Secret Service background is exceedingly convincing" - "Evening Standard" " First class" - Douglas Hurd," New Statesman" Praise for Stella Rimington' s autobiography "Open Secret": " The story of MI5' s transformation is fascinating. So too is Rimington' s account of her rise in what was very definitely a man' s world." -- "Guardian" " She writes in a refreshingly self-deprecating style of juggling the roles of single parent and chief ' spook' ." -- "Independent on Sunday" " Open Secret is a fascinating account not only of Stella Rimington' s various roles in the evolving Security Services, but also of the strains on a single mother as she struggles to compartmentalize a life that is necessarily unpredictable, stressful and shrouded in secrecy." -- "Time Out"
