Artemis Procter returns in David McCloskey's electrifying new spy thriller, where London has devolved into a covert battleground between British and American intelligence services.
What if the CIA and British intelligence began spying on each other? This is the question at the heart of David McCloskey's thrilling fifth novel. A new US Administration has taken office, installing a brash and unconventional CIA Director determined to disrupt the Agency and sceptical of its close relationship with their cousins across the Atlantic. Case officers, including newly installed London Chief of Station, Artemis Procter, must now navigate a tense environment as old friends become adversaries and no one knows who to trust. When agents run by both services begin dying, Procter and her team at London Station must decide whether loyalty to the Mission and their friends means disobeying the Agency they serve.
Immersing readers in the technological revolution upending intelligence tradecraft, David McCloskey's brilliant new thriller depicts the nuts-and-bolts mechanics of how CIA and MI6 collaborate and explores what happens when politics threaten to destroy the 'Special Relationship' between America and Britain.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Love me some Artemis Proctor! She's easily become one of my favorite characters - always ready to buck the trend and do what she thinks is right even if...well, especially if it makes the suits at HQ mad! I really liked what the author did with the personality of the new leadership at CIA and how they treated "friendly" intelligence services. The concept for this book was very realistic in current times and made it a VERY intriguing read. Would give 4.5 stars if I could but not quite 5. A fantastic story I wanted to keep reading and as usual, I can't wait to see what Mr. McCloskey puts out next!

Riveting spy thriller.
Artemus Proctor, a seasoned CIA operative, becomes the new London Station Chief when a new administration takes over, and the President appoints a business friend, with no intelligence background, to run the agency.
Procter takes over in the middle of a messy op gone bad and then finds herself chasing covert spying and asset name being revealed, within the ranks, and an appointed watchman from DC, overlooking all her work.
Fabulously intriguing story with characters that are superbly defined.
McCloskey nails the whole "spy thing".
Great read.
