Emma Glass works for a top secret agency in MI6. When on of their analysts is found murdered and locked in a suitcase in his apartment, Emma is assigned to go undercover to discover the identity of the killer and untangle the plot he was working on. The plot involved Russian oligarchs who were known to be involved in criminal activities, specifically dealing in chemical weapons sales to anti-Western groups. Emma goes underground on the super yacht of one of the oligarchs. This is an incredibly dangerous assignment, particularly when it appears that there is a mole in MI6 giving information to the Russians.
In this exciting spy novel, Emma faces danger at every turn. Any slip will end her in the same position as the murdered analyst. I enjoyed Emma’s character. She’s smart, gutsy, and fearless. She does make mistakes, but through the book, you can see her growing as an agent.
The background is delightful. The super yacht is cruising the waters of the Mediterranean. The author does an excellent job of bringing not only the gorgeous scenery to life, but also the interior of the yacht. The pace is fast with no dearth of exciting escapes. If you enjoy spy thrillers, this is one not to miss. It is also the second book in the series, but the author seamlessly weaves the history into the current book.
I received this book from the publisher and Net Galley.
