The explosive new stand-alone thriller from the author of the Spider Shepherd series
Sally Page is an MI5 'footie', a junior Secret Service Agent who maintains 'legends': fake identities or footprints used by real spies. Her day consists of maintaining flats and houses where the legends allegedly live, doing online shopping, using payment, loyalty and travel cards and going on social media in their names - anything to give the impression to hostile surveillance that the legends are living, breathing individuals.
One day she goes out for coffee leaving the safe house from which she and her fellow footies operate. When she comes back they have all been murdered and she barely escapes with her own life. She is on the run: but from whom she has no idea. Worse, her bosses at MI5 seem powerless to help her. To live, she will have to use all the lies and false identities she has so carefully created while discovering the truth . . .
Customer Reviews
A good story
Enjoyed the story , quite believable .
Great start poor ending
Enjoyable read but a really poor ending “by any standards”. the heroine of no age with no experience gets offered no less than two top jobs with two agencies. Come on, get real!!
About time the SAS major was put out to grass, his bit parts seem more and more unlikely and unbelievable really.
The Runner
Awesome ! Gripping from start to finish even if the ‘twist’ was slightly obvious from early on.
