Description
At Risk by Stella Rimington is a gripping espionage thriller and the first novel in the Liz Carlyle series. Set in the high-stakes world of British counterintelligence, the story follows MI5 officer Liz Carlyle as she races to uncover a dangerous terrorist threat. The alarm is raised when British intelligence learns of an imminent attack from an “invisible” — a terrorist operating under a legitimate British identity, making them almost impossible to detect until it’s too late.
Drawing from her own remarkable career as the former head of MI5, Stella Rimington brings a rare authenticity to this fast-paced, intelligent thriller. As Liz navigates a labyrinth of deception, shifting loyalties, and deadly risks, she must rely on her sharp instincts, deep operational knowledge, and personal resilience to stop a catastrophe on British soil.
At Risk is an atmospheric, cleverly crafted novel perfect for fans of John le Carré and Robert Harris, offering a smart, convincing, and thoroughly addictive introduction to a modern female spy heroine.
