Lex Tyler is a covert operative for Platform Eight, the assassination department of Her Majesty's Secret Service, and one of the very few women to successfully negotiate the old boy's network of the espionage world. Like her colleagues, she's smart, resourceful and very deadly - but unlike them, she's also got to juggle nappies, night feeds and keeping her deadly career under wraps from her husband.

Lex's latest assignment is Russian oligarch, Dmitri Tupolev, and the stakes could not be higher. But the more she digs into his life, the more Lex wonders if there isn't a different game going on - and one that might be about to cost her everything she's got.
