At Risk: A Novel (Agent Liz Carlyle, #1) (Liz Carlyle)

A terrorist is targeting Britain. And to make matters worse it’s an “invisible”-- Mi5-speak for someone traveling under a British passport. Virtually impossible to find before it’s too late.

The job falls to Liz Carlyle, the most resourceful counter terror agent in British intelligence. Tracking down this invisible is a challenge like none she has faced before. It will require all her hard-won experience, to say nothing of her intelligence and courage. Drawing on her own years as Britain's highest-ranking spy, Stella Rimington gives us a story that is smart, tautly drawn, and suspenseful from first to last.

Reviews

A decent, if not especially memorable, thriller. Distinguished partly by the fact that the author, Stella Rimington, was the first head of the real MI5. The interplay between the MI5 and MI6, friendly enough but with some sharp elbows, is probably based in the not-entirely-fictional tension between the two services.
