THE MOSCOW SLEEPERS : A LIZ CARLYLE NOVEL

A man lies dying in a hospice in upstate Vermont. The nurses know nothing about their patient, an academic at a nearby university, but are instructed to call the FBI should anyone visit.

News of this suspected Russian illegal soon reaches MI5 in London. Liz Carlyle and her colleague Peggy Kinsolving are grappling with a top-secret source known as Mischa, who has resurfaced and requested a clandestine rendezvous in Berlin.

Meanwhile in Brussels, a Russian sleeper agent who has lived undercover for years is beginning to question his role, while questions are being asked about a boarding school in Suffolk that has recently hired a wave of new staff in mysterious circumstances.

The latest expertly-plotted thriller in Stella Rimington's bestselling series, The Moscow Sleepers is a white-knuckle ride through the dark underbelly of international intelligence, simmering political animosities and global espionage.
