The Falklands Intercept
by Crispin Black
It is 11 January 2012. Before being able to deliver a speech that celebrates the 100th anniversary of Scott's expedition to the South Pole, Verney - Chief of Defence Intelligence - is found dead due to a heart attack. Celia Nevinson, head of MI5, is suspicious and asks Daniel Jacot to go on a secret mission. He must dig through the secretive world of the intelligence forces, as well as the painful realm of his past as an officer in the Falklands, to discover the clandestine truth. Set against Britain's Special Relationship and its growing cooperation with the French Sureté, Jacot explores the dark, hidden world of what goes on behind Whitehall's closed doors. It will attract many fans of the high-quality players in this genre; recalling the atmosphere of Inspector Morse and PD James, but at the very heart of the global intelligence community
