Description

Six months before she is due to take up her position as the first female head of MI6, Amelia Levene vanishes without a trace. Former MI6 officer Thomas Kell is called out of retirement and ordered to find her. With only days before the story leaks to the press, Kell must make his way to France and begin to piece together Levene's final movements. Was she kidnapped? Or could Britain's most senior spy have defected? Kell's investigation takes him to North Africa where he discovers an extraordinary secret buried in Levene's past. One which will come back to haunt her – and could make Kell pay with his life.
