Albatross: The Defector, The Avenue Of The Dead, Albatross, And The Company Of Saints (The Davina Graham Thrillers #3)
by Evelyn AnthonyCan Davina Graham uncover the traitor in Britain's Secret Intelligence Service before it's too late? Britain's Secret Intelligence Service has been compromised: A mole high in their ranks has been feeding national secrets to the Soviets. Undercover at a prominent ad agency, SIS agent Davina Graham has been tasked with the unenviable job of uncovering the traitor, who goes by the code name Albatross. Could it be Davina's boss, Brigadier Sir James White, a twenty-year SIS veteran, months away from retirement? Humphrey Grant, White's second-in-command, whose public persona conceals damning sexual secrets? Or John Kidson, the technocrat married to Davina's beautiful, pampered sister? Further complicating matters is the fact that, in Moscow, a longtime nemesis is pulling strings behind the scenes, setting up false trails as he vows to destroy Britain and make Russia the supreme super power--and only one woman stands in his way. Torn between two lovers--Scottish operative Colin Lomax and self-made advertising executive Tony Walden--Davina must move quickly before time runs out for them all. Albatross is the 3rd book in the Davina Graham Thrillers, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
