Product Information
An announcement is made at a meeting of the British Intelligence Joint Counter-Terrorist group: "The opposition may be about to deploy an invisible." An "invisible" is CIA-speak for the ultimate intelligence nightmare: a terrorist who is an ethnic native of the target country and who can therefore cross its borders unchecked, move around the country unquestioned, and go unnoticed while setting up the foundation for monstrous harm. Intelligence officer Liz Carlyle has had to prove herself in countless ways as she's come up through the ranks of the traditionally all-male world of Britain's Security Service, MI5. But this announcement marks the start of an operation that will test all her hard-won knowledge and experienceand her intelligence and courageas nothing has before. Having analyzed information from her agents, she realizes that there is indeed an imminent terrorist threat. She may even have the invisible's point of entry. But what she cannot draw out of all the "chatter" is the invisible's identity and intended target. With each passing hour, the danger increases. As the desperate hunt continues, it becomes clear that Liz's intuitive skills, her ability to get deep inside her enemy's head, are her best hope for tracking down the terrorist. But will that be enough? And can she succeed in time to avert a disaster? Drawing from her experience as the first woman director general of MI5, Stella Rimington gives us a story that is smart, tautly drawn, and suspenseful from first to last. At Risk is a stunning debut novel that plunges us headlong into today's shadowy and fever-pitched battle between terrorism and Intelligence.

Reviews
"Rimington delivers the goods in a high-octane race-against-time debut thriller that still finds time for nuance and character . . . [Her] tight plotting and short chapters keep the pages flying until the final showdown, which is a pleasant surprise, more subtle than one might expect of a hard-charging thriller, though sacrificing none of that medium's power." Los Angeles Times "One of the best assassin/tracker novels sinceThe Day of the Jackal. A real page-turner, an absolute stunner." Martha Grimes, author ofThe Winds of ChangeandThe Grave Maurice "Stella Rimington, former director-general of Britain's MI5, bids to join the ranks of such secret agent-authors as W. Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene, John le Carré and Charles McGarry.At Riskis an exciting debut novel."The Wall Street Journal "At Riskis an absorbing thriller. Stella Rimington leaves the impression that we all may be living on the thin edge of disaster . . . Faster than le Carré, she creates the same sense of real characters struggling with real problems, some personal, some political, some absolutely bloody murderous." John Sandford, author ofHidden PreyandNaked Prey "A suspense novel whose characters are as intriguing as the dangers they face . . . The psychological curiosity and attention to detail that has made Rimington a top spy also distinguishes her as an author: Readers are propelled by suspense, but each scene is so interesting that there's no temptation to skip pages."People "The first woman director-general of Britain's MI5, Rimington speaks smartly about workplace issues while ratcheting the tension high in her authoritative debut thriller. [She] infuses the chase with moral complexity . . . The voice rings true, and she keeps faith with a genre she clearly venerates."Publishers Weekly, "Rimington delivers the goods in a high-octane race-against-time debut thriller that still finds time for nuance and character . . .
