'Anyone who enjoys Richard Osman and Mick Herron will love this taut, atmospheric spy thriller about a veteran female spook drawn back into the chilliest days of the Cold War' Charles Cumming 'Quirky and inventive. Splendid stuff!' *Luke Jennings, author of *Killing Eve ** 'I loved this book. It shows once again how a character can grow older and lose none of their steel, none of their determination, none of their guile. It makes it clear why Felicity is the woman she is, without in any sense trivialising the forces that have shaped her. I enjoy strong women making things happen in their way, in a man's world, and that is what we have here, making the novel both compelling and engaging. I hope we see more of her' Julian Fellowes 'A hugely entertaining spy thriller. Pacey and laced with dark humour' Emma Curtis
