Another novel in
the series featuring Liz Carlyle, an MI5 Officer.
S R has once again
called on her previous experience as head of MI5 to tell an in depth story
featuring the workings of the secret service.
Liz Carlyle has
been posted to Belfast, where although the peace is holding there are still a
few fanatics who want the war to carry on. Liz is given the job of finding an
American called Piggot who it is thought has set up a business to act as a
front for his organisation called the Fraternity, where a plot is being hatched
against the security force.
The investigation
is proceeding well, but slowly, when one of her colleagues, Dave Armstrong,
goes missing when he decides to visit the premises of the Fraternity without
any backup. He is not thinking straight having just been given the heave ho by
his long – term girl- friend in London. When Liz discovers that all the
suspects have also disappeared she fears the worst and so the chase is on to
find them all.
The trail leads to
the south of France and the final conclusion on a small island off the coast
near Toulon.
SR has an easy
style of writing that ensures you keep the pages turning. It is a good plot
with good characters and all nicely tied up in the end. There is also an
undercurrent of romance that keeps the interest going.
A good read,
recommended.
