A thrilling novel of espionage and murder in the dark heart of Westminster, from the UK's most exciting new spy writer
A Russian defector is found brutally murdered in a London hotel.
Only four people knew he had turned - the four most important and powerful figures in Whitehall.
There's only one conclusion - a mole has infiltrated the highest levels of the nation's security.
Operating in secret from within Westminster's darkest corners, former spy, Solomon Vine, must uncover the traitor.
Because Britain's future hangs in the balance.
And with it the fate of the whole world . . .

Customer Reviews
A rattling good yarn
This book meanders nicely through the plot and is satisfying from a spy novel point of view. Lots of abbreviations which can be confusing but they are accurate. I’d like to read more from this author in a similar vein
Awful audio quality, sub par plot
Awful audio quality and narrator. Story is hard to follow given the narrator’s strong accent and intonation. Plot is far fetched. Very disappointing unlike The excellent Scarlett Papers by the same author.
