2000s: Once a spy always a spy
Thomas Kell thought his spying days were over. Whilst working for MI6,it, they had been his life. Everything he did, he did for them, for the cause, and look where it’s got him. Someone he loved, dead. His own life in tatters.
When despair and grief turn to anger, he can’t think of anything else apart from getting revenge on the Kremlin, the source of all his hatred and bubbling resentment all these years.
Taking the law into his own hands, he embarks on a mission to recruit a top Russian spy who is in possession of a terrifying secret. This is harder than anything he has had to do before as it means tracking him from Moscow to London
But in a risky game of cat and mouse, it sometimes can get very tricky to be sure exactly who is playing whom.
Life must be tough as a spy and even harder after it if this novel is anything to go by. Imagine your loved one being killed by Russian agents and then hating the ones responsible for her death.
The international stage is the real setting here with the action centered in London, yes, but the significance of events reaching as far as the Kremlin and the English seaside town of Brighton where a Muslim man is planning a suicide attack. With recent developments in the news of similar occurrences, this book really takes on a new and chilling edge.
Shows you an insight into the challenges faced by the Security services today.
