Treachery begins at home
Back in London after a gruelling operation in Paris, Liz Carlyle has been posted to MI5's counter-espionage desk. Her bosses hope the new position will give her some breathing space, but they haven't counted on the fallout from Putin's incursions into the Ukraine. Discovering that an elusive Russian spy has entered the UK, Liz needs to track him down before he completes his fatal mission - and plunges Britain back into the fraught days of the Cold War.
Meanwhile, following the revelations of whistle-blower Edward Snowden, the intelligence services are in the spotlight. In response to the debate raging around privacy and security, they hire Jasminder Kapoor, a young and controversial civil rights lawyer, to explain the issues to the public. But in this new world of shadowy motives and secret identities, Jasminder must be extra-careful about whom she can trust .
Gripping, nail-bitingly tense and drawn from her own experience as Head of MI5, Stella Rimington's latest thriller brings the new Cold War vividly to life.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Rimington tells her story with the crisp authority one would expect of James Bond's M . The story careens along energetically, giving us lots of juicy insider-seeming details along the way (New York Times Book Review)
She bids to join the ranks of such secret-agent authors as Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene and John le Carré (Wall Street Journal)
A wealth of persuasive detail, obviously drawn from first-hand experience (Marie Claire)
This is something rare: the spy novel that prizes authenticity over fabrication that is true to the character and spirit of intelligence work (Mail on Sunday)
For a pacy page-turner, she's a safe bet . . . Rimington is particularly strong in her accounts of procedure, unsurprisingly, given her past role as Head of MI5 (Independent)
Faster than Le Carré, she creates the same sense of real characters struggling with real problems (John Sandford)
Liz Carlyle is an MI5 agent with the traditional thriller-heroine mix of dysfunctional personal life and steely ambition (Daily Telegraph)
Just like her heroine Liz, Stella Rimington was a woman in a mainly man's world as the head of MI5 and this lends her novel enormous credibility right through to the nail-biting final (Joanna Czechowska on Close Call Woman )
This spy story is as authentic as it could be . Although high drama is tightly limited, there is enough action (and sympathy for targeted agents) to make for a highly satisfying plot (Country Life)
A new Cold War is coming, and Liz Carlyle is about to find herself on very thin ice.
