John Purkiss,the scourge of any traitor within S.I.S  has now his mandate extended to seek and punish those that did not honor their oath in M.I.5.The first requirement of a good thriller is to be fast paced,the second is for the plot to be intelligent with twists ,turns and surprises and the third is for the main character to be captivating.Dr. Stevens is successful in all three and does that with an excellent simple and direct prose where even the sex scenes are elegantly described without any vulgarity.The story happens in England/London with a short trip to Saudi Arabia and some memories of the British involvement in the Iraki war.Worth loosing some sleep to read up to the final pages,both the compact plot and the lively action are first class and the book is enjoyable to the last sentence.DVK
