Alec Milius has just been recruited to MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service. He is a natural spy, intelligent, adaptable, ambitious, and very adept at deceiving people. Soon Alec is working for both the CIA and MI6 as a double agent. The slightest mistake will cost him his life and he can’t trust anybody, least of all himself. This fast-paced story will make you read faster and faster just so you can find out what happens!
The author, Charles Cumming, was recruited to work for the British Secret Intelligence Service in 1995. But, as he says in the author's note, "Were the event of this story entirely true, they would inevitably breach clauses in The Official Secrets Act of the United Kingdom." It leaves one wondering how much is the truth and how much is fiction.
