Triple Cross

The unputdownable, race-against-time thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Secret Service




From ITV News Anchor Tom Bradby comes the final instalment in the bestselling Kate Henderson series. Double Agent saw Kate retire from the Service, but it won't last long...

'Bradby has the talent of a reporter but the heart of a storyteller' Daily Mail

Attempting to rebuild her shattered life in the South of France, former MI6 operative Kate Henderson receives an unexpected and most unwelcome visit from an old adversary: the UK Prime Minister. He has an extraordinary story to tell - and he needs her help.

A Russian agent has come forward with news that the PM has been the victim of the greatest misinformation play in the history of MI6. It's run out of a special KGB unit that exists for one purpose alone: to process the intelligence from 'Agent Dante', a mole right at the heart of MI6 in London.

Against her better judgement, Kate is forced back into the fray in a top-secret, deeply flawed and dangerous investigation. But now she's damaged goods. Her one-time allies no longer trust her. And neither do her enemies.

With the stakes this high, can the truth ever come out? Or is the cost of uncovering it a price that no one, least of all Kate, can afford to pay?
