Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 297 pages. Dj wornThe third thriller from the former head of MI5, featuring MI5 officer, Liz Carlyle. Liz Carlyle has been tr ansferred to Counter-Espionage, along with her research sidekick Peggy Kingsolving. Once the hub of MI5 operations, the department has been reduced in size since the end of the Cold War, and prio rity within the service is on counter-terrorism. Yet there is pl enty for Liz to do. In fact, there are more spies operating in Lo ndon today than during the height of East-West hostilities. This includes Russian spies, who continue to operate in number. What h as changed is their targets -- now they spy on the international financial community, as well as on the wealthy, influential Russi an oligarchs, many of whom live in London. Liz learns of a Russi an government plot to silence one of these oligarchs, Nikita Brun ovsky, who is an increasingly vocal opponent of Putin. How he is to be kept quiet is unclear, but since the Foreign Office dreads any kind of incident, Liz is assigned to keep it from happening. To protect Brunovsky from his Kremlin foes, Liz goes undercover and joins the oligarch's retinue as she tries to determine who ar ound the Russian might be willing to betray him, and hoping at th e same time to learn the identity of a certain Russian illegal op erative working undercover.
