“THE OFFICE The next day I awaken early, with a mild hangover and a bad case of oh dear God did I really say that to the Senior Auditor? I roll over and reach out, meaning to ask Bob’s opinion, and hit cold air on the other side of an unfamiliar hotel bed. Everything crashes down on me at once and I sit bolt upright.

Temporary office space has been assigned in one of our outlying buildings just south of the river, un...der the shadow of the glittering green glass block-pile that is Legoland, the Secret Intelligence Service headquarters building. (That’s MI6 to you.) A memo from Emma MacDougal: she’s going to spend the morning trawling for available staff to assign to my department and she’ll send them across as soon as possible. Damn, I’ll have to get in to the new office early to head them off at the pass. Another email, this time from the secure Metropolitan Police intranet: Jo Sullivan wants to talk to me.MoreLessRead More Read Less
