   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  pgchuis | May 29, 2016 |   The action move much more rapidly than with authors such as John le Carre, with whom Rimington is often compared, and while her books may not quite be as substantial or engrossing as le Carre's, she does not allow the faster action to compromise the story's credibility. Rimington gives us an immensely plausible espionage procedural, taking the reader with great care through the MI5 operation as it develops. Liz Carlyle is certainly a very empathetic protagonist, and one who's character become increasingly more credible with each new volume.

The international arms trade is about to become a national problem... In 2012, in a Middle Eastern souk, CIA agent Miles Brookhaven was attacked. At the time he was infiltrating rebel groups in the area. No one was certain if his cover had been blown or if the act was just an arbitrary attack on Westerners. Months later, the incident remains a mystery. Now, Liz Carlyle and her Counter Terrorism unit in MI5 have been charged with the task of watching the international under-the-counter arms trade. With the Arabic region in such a volatile state, the British Intelligence forces have become increasing concerned that extremist Al-Qaeda jihadis are building their power base ready to launch another attack. As the pressure mounts, Liz and her team must intercept illegal weapons before they get into the wrong hands. When MI5 learns that the source of the arms deals is located in Western Europe, Liz finds herself on a manhunt that leads her to Paris, to Berlin and into her own long-forgotten past. A past buried so deep that she thought it would never resurface . . . No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The actual plot concerns the importation of arms into the UK for use by jihadis, but manages to take in corrupt ministers in Yemen, clandestine meetings in Paris and Berlin and a nightclub/brothel in Manchester. It did seem to hold together relatively well and I always enjoy the descriptions of the A4 department's surveillance tactics. (
