Secret Asset by Stella Rimington

Secret Asset by Stella Rimington

Liz Carlyle, the quick, passionate intelligence officer of Britain's MI5, returns to defuse a terrorist plot in this high-stakes, high-tension tale of international espionage.

When it appears a secret asset--a sleeper spy--has infiltrated British Intelligence, the Director of Counter-Terrorism assigns Liz Carlyle to dig up the mole. The spy, possibly a former IRA operative now working with British-born Al Qaeda sympathizers, has one thing on his (or her?) mind: total devastation. With a major attack looming, Liz must trust her instincts and move fast. But this assignment is deadly, and suddenly she feels like she has wandered into a wilderness of mirrors, where nothing is what is seems and no-one can be trusted.

In 1968, Dame Stella Rimington became a member of the Security Service (MI5). She worked in the Service's key fields of counter-subversion, counter-espionage, and counter-terrorism throughout her career. She became the first woman to hold the position of Director General in 1992. She has written nine Liz Carlyle novels, including Close Call and The Geneva Trap, as well as her autobiography, Open Secret. She splits her time between London and Norfolk.
