From author and ITV News Anchor Tom Bradby comes the sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller and bestselling Action Thriller book of 2019, Secret Service.

Kidnapped in Venice by a Russian defector, Kate knows she's in trouble. But the spy offers her conclusive evidence that the British PM is a live agent working for Moscow. Kate's holiday quickly becomes the start of her next mission.

With proof of the PM involved in a sordid scandal and a financial paper trail that undeniably links him to the Russians, the evidence seems bulletproof. However, it appears that there are key people at the heart of the British Establishment who refuse to acknowledge the reality in front of them.
