KILLING EVE MEETS MICK HERRON IN THIS GRIPPING AND WITTY PAGE-TURNER ABOUT HAVING IT ALL, KEEPING IT ALL AND SURVIVING IT ALL.

Lex Tyler is trying to have it all, but being a working mother is so much more difficult when you´re a secret agent for an underground branch of the security services.

Platform Eight have been tasked with tracking down and eliminating the traitor in MI6 who has been selling information to the highest bidder through a headhunting website for the criminal underworld that connects intelligence operatives with all manner of bad people with a simple right swipe.

Deals get made. Secrets get sold. Missions fail. Agents die.

It´s down to Lex and her team to identify and eliminate the traitor before they assassinate China´s Minister of Commerce and ruin relations between the UK and China forever. But when your husband doesn´t know exactly what your job entails and the future of the intelligence services rests on your shoulders, can one working mother save the day?

This is one mission that Lex cannot afford to fail.
A lethally addictive blend of domestic suspense and hard-driving thriller . Set aside some time for this one - you won´t be able to put it down A. L. Gaylin, Edgar-winning author of NEVER LOOK BACK
