26 year-old Maggie Barnes is someone who moves through the world unnoticed. Living alone in a London apartment, no family except for an estranged sister, no boyfriend, no partner, and really no friends, Maggie is the kind of person who could vanish from the planet without anyone noticing. Which is what makes her the perfect person to thwart an international plot that threatens Britain. Which is what she does, right? And because she's involved in something with MI5, she needs to go into hiding. After all, that's what Harvey, her handler, says.
Except. Harvey isn't who he says he is. Maggie believes him about everything he's telling her, but something's fishy about all of this. And, as it turns out, someone has been missing Maggie and would very much like to find her.
I found this book to be an interesting read, although at times pretty uncomfortable. What I like is that you start the story with a set of assumptions, following what Maggie is doing . . . and then once the book gets going, things start to unravel and then go in a different direction. Good story, although I don't think I'd pick this up for a re-read anytime soon.
