Dead Line

By: Stella Rimington

Narrated by: Julia Barrie

MI5 Intelligence Officer Liz Carlyle has received alarming intelligence from a source in Syria. A Middle East peace conference is planned to take place at Gleneagles in Scotland, and the Syrians have learned that two individuals are mounting an operation to disrupt the conference in a spectacular way, laying the blame at Syria's door.

As the conference deadline draws ever closer, Liz discovers that the threat is far greater than she or anyone else could have imagined. But so many questions are still to be answered. Are they working together? Who is controlling them? Or is this intelligence a carefully laid trail of misinformation?

It is Liz's job to find out.
