Summary
Liz is assigned to stop a Russian government plot to "silence" one of these oligarchs, Nikita Brunovsky, who is an increasingly vocal opponent of the Putin regime. Almost simultaneously, Liz and Peggy learn of the presence of an Illegal Support officer in London, one Vladimir Rykov, who is putatively attached to the Russian embassy. An Illegal is someone who operates (often for many years) under a completely fabricated identity - and Rykov, it seem, has been sent to London to help an Illegal now based there.
To protect Brunovsky from his Kremlin foes, Liz goes undercover and joins the oligarch's retinue. As she tries to determine who around the Russian might be willing to betray him, she has to consider too whether this traitor may not also be the Illegal she and Peggy are seeking.

Good little listen
Built nicely and thankfully I seem to be listening in a chronological order (without knowing) so all following on but came to a head quickly and was over… shame.

Best to read in conjunction with series
whilst you need to have read/listened to others in this series to fully appreciate this book, it does a great job as a standalone read/listen. Credit also to Emma Fielding, the Narrator, who does a superb job of bringing characters to life.
This book is full of international intrigue, multi layered and, in a strange wa, highly relevant to today's political arena. Strange, because the original edition of this book was released in 2007. To remain relevant, some 16 yrs later is impressive.
As with all of Stella Remington's books I have this far read, the first half is pretty much building up the scenes, the characters and the background. The book comes alive midway and by the end, you simply can't put it down.
