La agente Liz Carlyle, protagonista de las tres novelas de Stella Rimington, es oficial de inteligencia en el servicio de antiterrorismo del MI5, la agencia de espionaje britanica. Tiene poco mas de treinta anos y le apasiona su trabajo. En esta primera novela, Carlyle, a raiz de una serie de avisos y pistas aparentemente inconexos, empieza a sospechar que se esta preparando un atentado terrorista en territorio britanico. Parece que el Islamic Terror Syndicate (nombre que se le da en la agencia al conjunto global de terroristas) va a introducir a un invisible (un nativo del pais objetivo) en Gran Bretana. El superior de Liz, Charles Wetherby, confia totalmente en ella y la apoya en sus sospechas. Poco a poco, el equipo de Liz va atando cabos a partir de sucesos aislados (el asesinato de un pescador en un pueblo de la costa con un arma poco comun, las informaciones de los agentes en Afganistan sobre movimientos poco usuales de algun sospechosos), y la amenaza cobra verosimilitud. / A terrorist is targeting Britain. And to make matters worse its an invisible--someone traveling under a British passport. Virtually impossible to find before its too late. The job falls to Liz Carlyle, the most resourceful counter terror agent in British intelligence. Tracking down this invisible is a challenge like none she has faced before. It will require all her hard-won experience, to say nothing of her intelligence and courage. Drawing on her own years as Britain's highest-ranking spy, Stella Rimington gives us a story that is smart, tautly drawn, and suspenseful from first to last.

About the Author:
Stella Rimington joined Britain's Security Service (MI5) in 1969. During her nearly thirty-year career she worked in all the main fields of the Service's responsibilities--counter-subversion, counter-espionage, and counter-terrorism--and became successively director of all three branches. Appointed director general of MI5 in 1992, she was the first woman to hold the post and the first director general whose name was publicly announced on appointment. Following her retirement from MI5 in 1996, she became a non-executive director of Marks and Spencer and published her autobiography, Open Secret, in the United Kingdom. She is currently at work on her next novel.
