Stella Rimington, our most high profile spy fiction writer, attends the November Book Club.
As the former Director General of the MI5, Rimington is no stranger to the underground world of spying. Her wealth of experience as the first female spy to rise to the top of the famously male-dominated organisation feeds magnificently into her novels, providing an authentic insight into the often over-glamourised and sensationalised world of the Secret Service. Which is not to say that her book lacks any of the traditional thrills and spills of traditional spy fiction; The Geneva Trap is a masterful blend of ambition and personal relationships.

When a Russian spy approaches MI6 with vital information about the imminent cyber-sabotage of an Anglo-American Defence programme, he refuses to talk to anyone but Liz Carlyle of MI5. But who is he, and what is his connection to the British intelligence officer?

At a US Air Force base in Nevada, 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...

‘Liz Carlyle is an MI5 agent with the traditional thriller-heroine mix of dysfunctional personal life and steely ambition’ Daily Telegraph
