Summary
British spy Leonard Flood is asked to investigate the poisoning in London of Willa Karlsson, a retired British secret service vetting officer suspected of being a Russian agent. British intelligence is terrified by the possibility that Moscow poisoned her upon her retirement since she was no longer useful to them. When Leonard discovers that he is also a suspect in the investigation and that Willa's story is less a story of betrayal than one of friendship, he must decide whether to hand her to her masters or to help her to escape.

Love this trilogy
The antidote to macho nonsense.
Best espionage fiction I’ve heard in a while, and in some ways the nearest thing to Le Carré.
The first book from the trilogy is still my favourite, but this one is well worth a listen for those who enjoyed what came before.
Guy Mott’s narration really adds humour and colour to the book’s archival format, although there are one or two errors, as well as August Drummond suddenly becoming Irish, which was irritating.
I truly hope that James Wolff has more spy fiction forthcoming.

Great story, well told, frustratingly narrated
James Wolff has a knack for telling spy stories in a believable, engaging way - well crafted, great character - the book is well worth hearing;
Sadly the narrator (presumably encouraged by Audible’s direction) is more of a continuity or radio ad announcer than a storyteller. His reading is incredibly precise and we don’t miss a single syllable; but for audiobooks we need the narrator to be more invested in the character and plot which seems not to be the case here.
