    Hayes, Terry

    Abstract

    Pour un agent de la CIA envoyé sur le terrain, les frontières n'ont plus d'importance. L'objectif est de s'infiltrer, d'accomplir sa mission et de quitter la zone par tous les moyens. Mais dans certaines régions hostiles, aux confins du Pakistan, de l'Iran et de l'Afghanistan, la violence est la seule voie pour survivre. Et lorsque l'exfiltration d'une source cruciale conduit cet agent à croiser la route d'un terroriste qu'on disait mort, c'est la sécurité de tout l'Occident qui est menacée.

  • The secret hours

    Creator

    Herron, Mick

    Abstract

    Something happened in 1994 Berlin that forever changed MI5. Very few know that story and those who do will do anything to keep it secret. Two years ago, a hostile prime minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service. Monochrome's mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so.
