Book description
Geneva, 2012. When a Russian intelligence officer approaches MI5 with
vital information about the imminent cyber-sabotage of an Anglo-American
Defence programme, he refuses to talk to anyone but Liz Carlyle. But who
is he, and what is his connection to the British agent?
At a tracking station in Nevada, US Navy officers watch in horror as
one of their unmanned drones plummets out of the sky, and panic spreads
through the British and American Intelligence services. Is this a
Russian plot to disable the West's defences? Or is the threat coming
from elsewhere?
As Liz and her team hunt for a mole inside the MOD, the trail leads
them from Geneva, to Marseilles and into a labyrinth of international
intrigue, in a race against time to stop the Cold War heating up once
again... Rich with authentic details from Rimington's own life as
director general of MI5, this is a must-read for fans of contemporary
spy fiction Dame Stella Rimington joined the Security Service (MI5) in
1968. During her career she worked in all the main fields of the
Service: counter-subversion, counter-espionage and counter-terrorism.
She was appointed Director General in 1992, the first woman to hold the
post. She has written her autobiography and six Liz Carlyle novels. She
lives in London and Norfolk.
