A passionate love story, centred on a devastating Russian plot to sabotage the undersea communication cables linking the US to the UK.

Clive Franklin, a Russian language expert in the Foreign Office, is summoned unexpectedly to Moscow to act as translator for the British Prime Minister. His life is upended when he discovers that his former lover, Marina Volina, is the interpreter to the Russian President. Together they will try to stop the attack that could paralyse communications and collapse the Western economy.

Really enjoyed this one. Refreshing to have a spy novel written by a woman and also one where the main characters feel real and not just a James Bond rip off.

Great story and I look forward to more by this author.

Narration was excellent. Beautifully paced. I wonder about the choice to use English regional accents for the Russians. It’s not bad and certainly doesn’t detract. Just a bit odd. Gave me a giggle though.

Great story with likeable and believable characters
