The Celebrity Chef, His Agent and His Disgraced MI5 Lover
The Meal of Fortune
Disgraced MI5 officer, Anna Preston is given a chance to revive her career by catching a notorious Russian arms dealer red-handed. It's an opportunity she's not going to let pass. Under pressure, the last thing she needs is to find her feckless ex-boyfriend, celebrity agent Dermot Jack is mixed up with the Russian too. But Anna realises her only option is to recruit Dermot to help lure the Russian into a trap.
But let's make one thing clear. They’re not about to fall in love again. That’s never going to happen. OK?
Anna Preston’s MI5 career is now on the up, back in the field and killing it. Until the trail goes cold on a terrorist plot and she has no leads and no way to stop it.
DI Mark Henwell has problems of his own. Someone’s killing celebrities and London’s police don’t have a clue. With outrage mounting on social media, he’s given one last chance to catch the killer and save his career. Could there be a link between the murders and the terrorist plot? And what does Dermot Jack, Anna’s feckless former boyfriend and manager of a string of lowbrow celebrities have to do with it all?
