The Avenue of the Dead

Summary: A female Brit spy must get to the bottom of a baffling case.
Review: Davina Graham is still mourning the death of her great love, Ivan Sasanov, who died in a government-related car-bomb. Davina blames the British government (for whom she and her Russian defector husband worked as spies) for not protecting them, but knows she must get on with her life. Oppurtunity knocks on her door in the form of her former commander, James White. Mr White has a case for her which involves the wife of one Ian Fleming who happens to be a close personal friend to the U.S. president. Mrs Fleming claims her husband threatened her and when Davina reluctantly comes to investigate she discovers a web of spys, agents, double-agents and the like more intricate than she would've ever imagined. With the help of her colleague, Colin Lomax (to whom she subsequently takes a likng) the bottom of the whole saga is reched. A greatly riveting spy thriller, with many wonderful (yet not detracting) side-streams and many unexpected turns in this river of great writing.
