Dieter Hess, an aged spy, is dead, and John Bachelor, his MI5 handler, is in deep, deep trouble. Death has revealed that the deceased had been keeping a secret second bank account - and there's only ever one reason a spy has a secret second bank account. The question of whether he was a double agent must be resolved, and its answer may undo an entire career's worth of spy secrets.

Excellent plot and engaging narration. Shame it is only a short story. Hopefully it will be expanded in the future.

Another excellent piece of work from Mick Heron. His Slough House series is addictive, and as a short story this piece demonstrates why his books are so moorish. Great writing style, humour, intelligence and a twist.

Spooks, spies and scheming

This is great but I feel a bit short changed as I burnt my monthly credit on this and it's quite short. Not a full story.

Too short!
