Book description
When MI5 intelligence officer Liz Carlyle learns of a Russian
government plot to kill super-rich Nikita Brunovsky - a man who openly
criticises the Putin regime from his London base - it's a race against
time to track down the killer. How the Russian is to be silenced is
unclear, but the Foreign Office dreads any kind of incident and Liz
must work fast to protect him.
As she goes undercover, desperately trying to find out who in
Brunovsky's retinue might betray him, Liz discovers that an 'illegal'
Russian agent has arrived in London. Is this the assassin she is
seeking? Under an assumed name, caught up in the high-octane world of
the oligarchs, Liz soon finds herself in terrible danger...
