    About this series

    • SERIES. The third in the espionage trilogy The Discipline Files, after the acclaimed debut Beside the Syrian Sea, and its follow-on novel How to Betray Your Country.

    · SETTING. An espionage thriller that neatly ties the trilogy together, mentioning the heroes of the other two books, but working well as a stand-alone novel. ISIS and the Middle East have been replaced by the FSB and the UK.

    • WRITTEN BY AN INSIDER. James Wolff is the pseudonym of a young English novelist who worked for the British government for over ten years before leaving to write spy fiction. Bitter Lemon Press cannot use him (or even a likeness of him) for the promotion of the novel except via written interviews, many of which have been published to support the earlier novels in the trilogy. We do not know his real name despite meeting with him frequently for editing purposes.

    • ESPIONAGE ETHICS. Against the backdrop of increasing Russian spying and interference (including assassination) in the UK, this novel explores themes of loyalty and betrayal in modern intelligence work, threatened from the inside by whistle-blowers, serial leakers and Robin Hood hackers. A taut thriller about the thin line between following your conscience and following orders but also about the need for more transparency and diversity in what appears to be a sclerotic intelligence service.

    • THE STORY of an internal investigation into the past of a British spy suspected of having been turned by Russian agents.  British intelligence is terrified by the possibility that Moscow attempted to kill Willa Karlsson upon her retirement from the secret services since she was no longer useful to them. When Leonard Flood, in charge of the investigation, discovers that he is also a suspect and that Willa’s story is less a story of betrayal than one of friendship and a deep sense of duty, he must decide whether to hand her to her masters or to help her to escape.
