Caracteristici

Set against the backdrop of the Russia's war in the Ukraine and the post Wikileaks climate of anti-secrecy, this is an urgent, gripping and utterly contemporary espionage thriller.

Notă biografică

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 several Liz Carlyle novels. She lives in London and Norfolk.

Recenzii

She bids to join the ranks of such secret-agent authors as Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene and John le Carré
A wealth of persuasive detail, obviously drawn from first-hand experience
This is something rare: the spy novel that prizes authenticity over fabrication that is true to the character and spirit of intelligence work
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
Faster than Le Carré, she creates the same sense of real characters struggling with real problems
Liz Carlyle is an MI5 agent with the traditional thriller-heroine mix of dysfunctional personal life and steely ambition
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
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
