Book One of the Eleanor & Sophie Vasey series.
Eleanor Vasey spent thirty years running agents in the shadows. She retired to a cottage garden and a silence she had earned.
When her daughter Sophie vanishes in Vienna — snatched after flagging a mole inside a NATO intelligence network — the service calls it a breakdown. Nell knows better.
Denied official help, she goes unofficial. She oils a pistol she swore she would never touch again and flies to Vienna. What she finds there is not a foreign intelligence operation. It is a fifteen-year-old debt with her name on it — and her daughter is the interest.
The cryptonym scratched into the underside of Sophie's drawer belongs to a woman Nell trained, trusted, and abandoned behind the Iron Curtain. A woman who was left for dead. A woman who survived.
And the service Nell gave her life to would rather bury Sophie than admit how deep the rot goes.
Two women. One legacy of betrayal. And a killer who was made in the mother's own image.
For readers of John le Carré, Mick Herron and Charles Cumming.
