'Rimington tells her story with the crisp authority one would expect of James Bond's M' New York Times Book Review
Recovering from a gruelling terrorist investigation, Liz Carlyle has been posted to MI5's counter-espionage desk. Her bosses hope the change of scene will give her some breathing space, but they haven't counted on Putin's increased aggression towards the West. Soon Liz is on the hunt for a Russian spy who threatens to plunge Britain back into the fraught days of the Cold War.

Meanwhile, MI6 has hired Jasminder Kapoor, a controversial young civil rights lawyer, to explain issues of privacy and security to the public. But in this world of shadowy motives and secret identities, Jasminder must be extra-careful about whom she can trust ...
THE DEVIL'S BARGAIN, the brand-new thriller from Stella Rimington, is out now.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Wall Street Journal
   • content: She bids to join the ranks of such secret-agent authors as Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene and John le Carré
2. • premium: False
   • source: Marie Claire
   • content: A wealth of persuasive detail, obviously drawn from first-hand experience
3. • premium: False
   • source: Mail on Sunday
   • content: This is something rare: the spy novel that prizes authenticity over fabrication that is true to the character and spirit of intelligence work
4. • premium: False
   • source: Independent
   • content: For a pacy page-turner, she's a safe bet . . . Rimington is particularly strong in her accounts of procedure, unsurprisingly, given her past role as Head of MI5
5. • premium: False
   • source: John Sandford
   • content: Faster than Le Carré, she creates the same sense of real characters struggling with real problems
6. • premium: False
   • source: Daily Telegraph
   • content: Liz Carlyle is an MI5 agent with the traditional thriller-heroine mix of dysfunctional personal life and steely ambition
7. • premium: False
   • source: Woman
   • content: Just like her heroine Liz, Stella Rimington was a woman in a mainly man's world as the head of MI5 and this lends her novel enormous credibility right through to the nail-biting final
8. • premium: False
   • source: Country Life
   • content: This spy story is as authentic as it could be ... Although high drama is tightly limited, there is enough action (and sympathy for targeted agents) to make for a highly satisfying plot

   • content:

     May 2, 2016
     At the start of Rimington’s intermittently compelling ninth novel featuring British MI5 agent Liz Carlyle (after 2014’s Close Call), Jasminder Kapoor, a thoughtful advocate for greater transparency by security services, is mugged in London. She’s saved from serious injury by Laurenz Hansen, a charming but secretive private banker who becomes her lover. Meanwhile, MI6 wants to hire someone to handle communications and Kapoor ultimately gets the job, but her new position makes her a target for the book’s villains. Over at MI5, Carlyle and her colleagues are trying to prevent another Litvinenko-style assassination by Russian agents. In particular, they’re worried about the safety of anti-Putin oligarchs living in England, such as Sergei Patricov. Sources lead them to a plot to infiltrate both of the key British intelligence services. Rimington, who spent decades at MI5, does a fine job of depicting the up-to-the-minute tradecraft, but the plot could have benefited from a greater sense of urgency. Agent: Georgina Capel, Capel & Land (U.K.).
