News of this suspected Russian illegal soon reaches MI5 in London where Liz Carlyle has been contacted by a top secret source known as Mischa who is requesting 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 suspicions have been roused about a boarding school in Suffolk that has recently changed hands 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.

Welcome a new queen of the genre . . . Stella Rimington, who as the first female director of MI-5 . . . knows of what she writes.

[Rimington] bids to join the ranks of such secret-agent authors as . . . Graham Greene [and] John le Carré.
The Wall Street Journal
-
Rimington's best work demonstrates a flair for narrative, with a sense of authenticity and an insider's grasp on the pressing issues of the day.
The Washington Post
-
The Moscow Sleepers offers a sturdy display of espionage agencies wrestling to collaborate via real-life intrigue, with a nice dose of feminine teamwork.

This is espionage with a capital E, as Rimington draws from her years as Britain's highest-ranking spy, adding cybersecurity issues from today's headlines to bring readers the tenth Liz Carlyle thriller (following Breaking Cover, 2016). A stranger's visit to a dying college professor in Vermont trips an FBI alarm, and the agency forwards their concerns to MI5 in London. Counterterrorist agent Carlyle and her colleagues are assigned to the case, and a visit to Montreal makes them aware of a global cyberconspiracy originating in Moscow and operating in Germany, the UK, and North America through an extensive “sleeper” network. There are white-knuckle encounters in Berlin and Moscow as attempts are made to infiltrate the Russian operation, and the trail eventually leads Carlyle and her team back to England, where a bizarre spy school is suspected of training Middle Eastern refugees in the darker uses of the internet. Recommend this series to fans of classic espionage in the le Carré mold.
