About this listen

Winter, 1947. Britain's secret services have been penetrated. The country is more vulnerable than ever - and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin knows it. He decides it is time to send his master of 'Special Tasks' to create extra chaos.

But Stalin has a more important motive than mere disruption. He has a man on the inside who must be protected at all costs - a communist super-spy who has the secrets of the atomic bomb at his fingertips.

Freya Bentall, a senior MI5 officer, no longer knows who to trust and is left with one option: to bring in an outsider whose loyalty is beyond question - Cambridge professor Tom Wilde. His task: to find the traitor in MI5.

Bentall has three main suspects and Wilde must get close to them all. That means delving deep into the criminal underworld, attaching himself to the cultural elite of the arts and finding a way into the extreme reaches of British politics.

As winter bites and violence erupts, Wilde faces an uphill battle to protect those he loves from merciless killers. And he knows that one slip will spell disaster for the country - and his family.©2025 Rory Clements (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK

Good but not as good as the others. I really like Tom’s character, detest Lydia and worry for Johnny who hardly sees them! The author didn’t seem to have his heart in this story. Some good twists and turns but I was able to listen to it while multitasking to the extreme. The narration as always was brilliant.

Tom was not quite himself.

All 8 of the Tom Wilde books are hugely enjoyable, and very well read by Sims.

Superb entertainment

No spoilers so I will simply say that Clements is the absolute master of weaving fact with fiction & I hope that this series will continue!
He is also a master of researching his subject matter.

Superb as always!

I have listened to all the Tom Wilde novels and again Rory has excelled at every twist and turn throughout. There are lot's of historical accuracies too.

Another great Tom Wilde story by Rory Clements
