Publisher's Synopsis
When John Mordred leaves MI7, marries the woman he loves, and settles down to a relatively humdrum lifestyle, it ought to be a brave new start. But he and his wife have formerly been top-level spies, and they find the readjustment harder than they anticipated. When - courtesy of a friend, and apparently out of the blue - they're offered an all-expenses-paid holiday in Malta, it seems the answer to both their prayers. Sunshine, relaxation and romance. Just what the doctor ordered. But Malta's no ordinary tourist-trap. Hidden cameras, none-too-subtle intimations of blackmail, and the murder of a professional acquaintance send them reeling back to Britain; back to what they dearly hope will be a snug nine to five normality. It turns out there's a limit to how often they can walk away.
