The Russian Lieutenant

When a Russian warship arrives in Portsmouth Dockyard, a handsome uniformed officer strides down the gangway to meet Marina Peters, an English girl of Russian ancestry, who had discovered him on a dating website. She works for the Royal Navy, so they have much in common. What they do not know is that their romantic quayside tryst is being observed by agents from MI5, leading to a series of dramatic events involving the security services of the UK and USA. Marina, a bright and intelligent thirty-year-old career woman, has been seeking something new in her life. So it is with a mixture of expectation and anxiety that she has "waited for her ship to come home". But what follows is an unexpected introduction into the ruthless world of international espionage. "Twists and turns were one of the most outstanding characteristics of this book. In as much as it was possible to foresee some events, some developments came unannounced. Another unique feature is how the book typically reveals the underworld of international espionage. No player wants to be left behind. There is no end to the spying web. When one thinks everything has been brought to light, one more secret is revealed. These and many features leave the reader turning from one page to another to discover more". OnlineBookClub Review
