Henry Porter has already shown that he can write an excellent spy thriller and I enjoyed his Paul Samson series very much.

he has found another winner in Slim Parsons, a heroine for the times who follows her instincts rather than authority and finds her way through a complex situation featuring an oligarch seeking revenge and a rogue website publishing information that the government would far rather says buried.

The writing is terse and tense and the story flows. Slim is a complex character with a troubled past and I look forward to seeing her character develop in subsequent books in what promises to be yet another winner from an excellent author who really knows his stuff.

Wow really great book!

Her last deep cover job for MI5 ended with a life-and-death struggle on a private jet that caused her to go on the run from both the deadly target and her angry bosses in the Security Service. They say that violence comes too easily to her; that she's bordering on delinquent and unsuitable for the roll of an MI5 operative. Yet she is recalled and asked to infiltrate a news website that's causing alarm in the highest circles. Linesman turns out to be anything but simple. Her personal loss, her previous deep cover role, and a threat to MI5 itself from her original target come together in a three-way collision. And all the while she is watched by someone even deeper in the shadows than she is.

I read this in record time, it was a hard book to put down. It grabbed my attention from the first page. This is my first read by Henry Porter and it won’t be my last. I’m really keen to explore more from this author. The main character in this book is very likeable and the storyline was fast faced and suspenseful. I highly recommend this book, I would certainly buy and gift this to friends or family.
