Geneva, 2012. When a Russian intelligence officer approaches MI5 with vital information about the imminent cyber-sabotage of an Anglo-American Defence programme, he refuses to talk to anyone but Liz Carlyle. But who is he, and what is his connection to the British agent?

At a tracking station in Nevada, US Navy officers watch in horror as one of their unmanned drones plummets out of the sky, and panic spreads through the British and American Intelligence services. Is this a Russian plot to disable the West's defences? Or is the threat coming from elsewhere?

As Liz and her team hunt for a mole inside the MOD, the trail leads them from Geneva, to Marseilles and into a labyrinth of international intrigue, in a race against time to stop the Cold War heating up once again...

Sorry - forgot about that CRS is indeed Can't Remember Stuff / Sh*t if you prefer the more in your face version :)

I used to be anal about reading series in order and now I find I really struggle - sometimes it's disorganisation, sometimes it's just CRS. These days I work on the principle whilst it would be nice to live in an ideal world and get everything in the right order, practically each book has to be able to work alone or in the group... surely :)

I started out with the Le Carre's, Deightons, MacLean's and so on way back when I was still a teenager - don't know why, but for some reason they grabbed my attention - alongside the standard crime fiction offerings at that time as well mind you. But I still love the espionage fiction as much as I love crime fiction.
