Caroline Oates is no ordinary corpse. Until someone slipped her a lethal injection, she was little more than a vegetable — KGB torturers had seen to that in Berlin ten years ago when she cracked under interrogation. So why kill a burnt-out case? And why now?Alec Hillsden, MI6 secret agent, must find the answers — and watch his own back. Because he has an old score to settle: the mutilated body on the autopsy table is the woman he once loved. And later betrayed. But betrayal is the ace card in this endless, deadly game of espionage. As Alec draws ever closer to the most dangerous player of all, the dirty, filthy truth seeps out… “One of the best, most convincing espionage novels I’ve read in a long time.” — Martin Cruz Smith “Has a strangler’s grip.” — The Guardian Author: Bryan ForbesFormat: PaperbackISBN: 9780749318451Condition: Used – Very GoodFast UK delivery from RoverUK.
