The past comes back to haunt MI6 secret agent Cordelia Hemlock in
this spy thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author David Mark
"Top-level espionage fiction" - Booklist Starred Review Cordelia
Hemlock is teetering on the verge of joining MI6 when she meets the
enigmatic Walt, a high-ranking member of the Secret Intelligence
Service, who tells her: They won't want you to do well. They won't
ever trust you. They don't trust me and I'm one of them. She takes
this as a challenge rather than a warning. She wants to protect the
nation. Serve Queen and country. Who would turn down such a
glorious opportunity? Fourteen years later, Cordelia is desk-bound
after finishing an undercover operation and going quietly mad with
boredom. So when the call comes through on the top-secret Pandora
line - so-called after the locked-box the telephone is kept in -
she answers it. It's Walt. No longer officially MI6, he still
inhabits the murky world of intelligence, where information always
comes with a price. He tells her he has a secret to share with her
- and only her. And once she knows it, nothing will ever be the
same again . . . A follow-up to the critically acclaimed
psychological thriller The Mausoleum, this is a twisty,
page-turning tale of friendship and divided loyalties set against
the dark, forbidding landscape of the rural Borderlands.
