Synopsis

LONGLISTED FOR THE COMEDY WOMEN IN PRINT (CWIP) PRIZE.

KILLING EVE MEETS MICK HERRON IN THIS GRIPPING AND WITTY PAGE-TURNER ABOUT HAVING IT ALL, KEEPING IT ALL AND SURVIVING IT ALL.

'Brilliant' HUGH GRANT

'Takes spy fiction to a new level' CLAIRE ALLAN

Lex Tyler is trying to have it all, but being a working mother is so much more difficult when you're a secret agent for an underground branch of the security services.

Platform Eight have been tasked with tracking down and eliminating the traitor in MI6 who has been selling information to the highest bidder through a headhunting website for the criminal underworld that connects intelligence operatives with all manner of bad people with a simple right swipe.

Deals get made. Secrets get sold. Missions fail. Agents die.

It's down to Lex and her team to identify and eliminate the traitor before they assassinate China's Minister of Commerce and ruin relations between the UK and China forever. But when your husband doesn't know exactly what your job entails and the future of the intelligence services rests on your shoulders, can one working mother save the day?

This is one mission that Lex cannot afford to fail.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

A half-Chinese, half-Scottish Londoner, Asia studied Anthropology at Durham University, after which she started a career in television. She presented and produced lifestyle programmes in Shanghai before moving back to London, where she worked for Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as Project Manager on their round the world motorbike documentaries. She started writing Killing It, her debut novel, on maternity leave and undertook a Faber Academy course to help her finish it. Asia lives in London with her husband, four young children and two dogs. Killing It was described as 'brilliant' by Hugh Grant, 'different and refreshing' by Marian Keyes and 'witty and original' by Clare Mackintosh. It was the first runner-up in the inaugural 2019 CWIP Prize. The Nursery has been called 'lethally addictive' by A. L. Gaylin, with 'shades of Killing Eve' (Claire Allan); and was one of the Daily Telegraph's Best 28 Thrillers of 2019.
