What you need to know before your trail

British intelligence is in a state of panic. Cracks are appearing, or so a run of disciplinary cases would suggest. To cap it all, Willa Karlsson, a retired MI5 officer collapses, the victim of what looks like a Russian poisoning. Leonard Flood is ordered to investigate – and quickly. Notorious for his sharp elbows and blunt manner, Leonard’s only objective is to get the job done, whatever the cost. When Leonard discovers that he is also a suspect in the investigation and that Willa’s story is less a story of betrayal than one of friendship and a deep sense of duty, he must decide whether to hand her to her masters or to help her to escape.

Travel Guide

London and the Secret Service.

Most of the book takes place in and around London and you get to see some insights into a very unique part of the city! From MI5 and MI6 and then across we go to GCHQ in Cheltenham. With the action taking place in some of the most secretive buildings in the UK, it’s a great way to ‘discover’ them and experience them and what it might be like working for them.

There’s a lot of concern about poisoning and Russian spies but never fear – there’s a nice jaunt over to Norfolk for a nice hotel stay. Well, secretive…..
