Synopsis

MI5 officer Winnie Monks has never forgotten the death of a young agent on her team at the hands of a former Russian Army Major turned gangster. Now, 10 years later, she learns that the Major is travelling to a villa on the popular Spanish holiday destination Costa del Sol, and she asks permission to send in a surveillance unit. They find an empty property near the Major's. It's a perfect base for Winnie's darker, less official, plans. But it turns out the villa isn't deserted. The owners have invited a young British couple to house sit while they are away. Jonno and Posie, a new couple, think they are embarking on a romantic, carefree break in the sun. But when the Secret Service team arrives in paradise, everything changes.

Goodreads review by Anne

A brilliant taut thriller pulling all threads together at the end without any sense of contrivance or happy ever after. Complicated cast of characters meant I couldn't leave it alone for long in case I got confused. Believable in so far as the world of terror and espionage can be to Joanne Public. R......more
