About the Author
Stella Rimington joined MI5 in 1965 and during her thirty-year career she worked in all the main fields of the Service's responsibilities--counter-subversion, counter-espionage, and counter-terrorism--and successively became 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 UK.
Reviews
"Stella Rimington bids to join the ranks of such secret agent-authors as W. Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene, [and] John le Carré."--The Wall Street Journal"Welcome a new queen of the genre. . . . Stella Rimington, who was the first female director of MI-5, knows of what she writes."--The Washington Times "Intelligent, vivid . . . [with] rich insider detail." --The Plain Dealer "Brisk pacing and intelligent attention to detail make this thriller one of the better spy stories of recent times." --Mystery Scene
