The world is on the brink of crisis.
A new Cold War is playing out on the global stage.
Governments will do whatever it takes to stay at the top...
To those who don't know her, Kate Henderson's life must seem perfectly ordinary. Civil servant, wife, mother. But in reality she is a senior MI6 officer, who right now is holding the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb.
Kate's most recent mission has yielded the startling intelligence that the British Prime Minister has cancer - and that one of the leading candidates to replace him may be a Russian agent of influence.
Up against the clock to uncover the mole, Kate risks everything to uncover the truth. But with her reputation to uphold, her family hanging by a thread and a leadership election looming, she is out of options - and out of time. Will she be able to close the case before it closes her?
