Sobre aquest llibre
Top notch espionage thriller written by the Service's former Director General, Stella Rimington.
'Cracking pace . . . the details of how MI5 conducts its business are fascinating' Sunday Express
'A wealth of persuasive detail drawn from first-hand experience' Marie Claire
MI5 Intelligence Officer Liz Carlyle is called to an urgent meeting with her boss, head of the Service's Counter-Espionage Branch. His counterpart over at MI6 has received alarming intelligence from a high-placed Syrian source.
A Middle East peace conference is planned to take place at Gleneagles in Scotland and several heads of state are coming. The Syrians have learned that two individuals are preparing to disrupt the peace conference in a way designed to be spectacular, laying the blame at Syria's door. The source claims that Syrian Intelligence is going to kill them first.
No one knows who they are or what they are planning to do. Are they working together? Who is controlling them? Or is the whole story a carefully laid trail of misinformation?
It is Liz's job to find out. But, as she discovers, the threat is far greater than she or anyone else could have imagined.
