'Here's a novel to make the great and the good quake... puts him firmly in the Mick Herron class' Telegraph Buried deep in MI6's digital archives is the most classified directory of all, holding the misdeeds of politicians, royalty, business leaders and the service's own personnel. There are seven decades' worth of images and recordings, usually acquired for the sake of assessing risk, sometimes as a guard against betrayal, often engineered by MI6 for their own purposes. When material from the archive begins appearing online, panic spreads through the Establishment like wildfire. At first, the security breach only manifests itself in apparently random events: a suicide, a disappearance, a breakdown. But when it's discovered that the individuals concerned were all contacted by the same anonymous person, a connection comes into focus. The hunt is now of unprecedented urgency before the entire political and business systems are fatally weakened. That's when they call for Elliot Kane... 'Enthralling... Harris steadily cranks up the tension' Financial Times 'Our Len Deighton... Harris' deceptively understated style powers a relentless thriller'Irish Times 'Gripping, smart and hugely enjoyable' Charlotte Philby
