Secret Asset (Liz Carlyle)

Secret Asset (Liz Carlyle)

With her debut novel, At Risk, Stella Rimington established herself as a top-notch thriller writer, and introduced us to Liz Carlyleâ€”a smart, impassioned MI5 intelligence officer whose talents and ambitions are counterbalanced by an abiding awareness of her jobâ€™s moral complexities. In Secret Asset, we are plunged back into her high-stakes, high-tension world.

Liz has always been particularly skilled at â€œassessing people,â€ and when one of her agents reports suspicious meetings taking place at an Islamic bookshop, she trusts her instinct that a terrorist cell is at work. Her boss, Charles Wetherby, Director of Counter-Terrorism, knows to trust Lizâ€™s instincts as well: he immediately puts a surveillance operation into place.

So Liz is surprised when Wetherby suddenly takes her off the case. And sheâ€™s shocked to hear why: Wetherby has received a tip-off that a moleâ€”a â€œsecret assetâ€â€”has been planted in one of the branches of British Intelligence. If this is true, the potential damage to the Service is immeasurable. As her colleagues work to avert an impending terrorist strike, Liz is charged with the momentous task of uncovering and exposing the mole before itâ€™s too late.

As she did in At Risk, Stella Rimington once again brings all her experience as the first woman Director General of MI5 to bear in a heart-stopping thriller that takes us deep into a â€œwilderness of mirrorsâ€ where nothing is what it seems and no one can be trusted.
