Review
'For a pacey page-turner, she's a safe bet Rimington is particularly strong in her accounts of procedure, unsurprisingly, given her past role as Head of MI5. Everything rattles along, taking in London, Belfast, Paris and a Mediterranean island a guilty pleasure is the ongoing undercurrent of romance, and it's hard not to wonder whether Carlyle will get her man out of office hours as well as in them' Independent. 'Another fast, action-packed thriller form the former head of MI5 the quality of her writing is still very high and you know that you are going to have a very exciting read with her entertaining stories the author did work for MI5 in Northern Ireland during her career and it adds an authenticity which is hard to ignore.' Euro Crime.
Product Description
MI5 intelligence officer Liz Carlyle has just been despatched to Northern Ireland. It's a promotion, and she'll be running agents - her favourite activity - but it also means being separated from Charles Wetherby, her old boss, recently widowed and a very close friend. Attachments in the Intelligence Services are not encouraged: it seems her superiors know more about Liz's life than she thinks. In Belfast, Liz and her team are monitoring the brutal breakaway Republican groups who never accepted the peace process and want to continue their 'war'. Intelligence is focused on the shady Fraternity, with links to drug-running, arms-dealing and organised crime. With some help from Special Branch and a volunteer informant who seems to be legit, the Fraternity's leader is identified as a cold, calculating and ruthless American, hijacking the Cause for his own financial ends. It is a perilous group to become involved with. Especially if your informant turns tail

Not Le Carre,
This review is from: Present Danger (Paperback)
Not Le Carre but a good read.
There is quite a difference between the 'mans' spook & the female spook.

World of spies,
By micki 2 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Present Danger (Hardcover)
Iam a big fan of Stella Rimington and Liz Carlyle. Present Danger is #5 in the series. Liz has a job that is not filled with glamour but there is alot of excitment and plenty of spies and danger. The writing is sharpe and keeps the action moving.
