An out-of-favour journalist tracks down a ring of spies bent on sabotaging Britain's `Exit Day'. A senior Minister leaks Cabinet secrets to Brussels. An assassin stalks the Prime Minister.
When an old lover turns up on Harry Topp's doorstep, she brings with her an explosive `gift': a list of deeply buried secret agents in Britain. And top of the list is the Cabinet Minister.
Harry is shocked to discover that a friend is also one of the spies and soon finds himself caught up in a covert war between rival sets of spooks. Worse still, he's up against a conspiracy by a group of fanatics, led by a shadowy figure called the Wolf, intent on corrupting the European Union from within.
While determinedly chasing his scoop, what Harry doesn't realise is that he's been hatching a cuckoo in the nest...
Of all the undercurrents in the Brexit controversy, this is the one scenario readers would never expect.
