- Summary:
- A stylish, edgy spy thriller set in the Cold War, where enemies and allies can't always be separated, and espionage means getting your hands dirty. When a defecting KGB officer reveals the existence of a devastating Soviet plot, codenamed Operation Glass, the charismatic but paranoid head of MI5, known simply as Daddy, assembles a secret committee of intelligence officers to investigate. Are they the best? Or are they the only ones he trusts in a world where double agents, secrets and lies are normality? They are Bobby Waterhouse, the louche and ambitious head of counter-espionage; Sarah Montag, his dry-witted and fiercely clever deputy; her husband Alan Montag, their cheerful and guileless expert in bugging and interception; Jim Fenchurch, a stoic and skeptical Special Branch police detective; and Wendy Straw, the naive and impressionable secretary. Finally, there's operative Joe Lambe, a troubled but genius interrogator who is able to read every tic and giveaway of human nature. But Joe has more to him than meets the eye - a dark past and a dangerous secret.
