Fast paced mystery set in post-9/11 England among MI5 and MI6.
A swirl of IRA, New York tabloids, and Pakistani terrorists made for a whirl of a read.
Liz Carlyle must find the mole in the service, and it's a race against time.
I thought this was great, and the writer was actually the first woman to head MI5, so she has authenticity in her details. The paranoia and surveilance seemed so right, and the Big Brother-ness of Britain's CCTV culture seemed almost understandable in the context of the book. The influx of Asians and mosques into the UK and how that has changed the fabric of the country, and I thought it was all very well done until the end, which rather whimpered out.
