An exceptionally talented undercover policewoman, Grace Flint nearly dies in a botched sting operation. Months later, physically healed but psychologically scarred, she gets an unexpected clue to her attacker, and disappears on a mission of revenge - unaware that she is about to pull the first string that will unravel a vastly complex web of international treachery, extortion and murder. Pursuing her, using whatever clues he can find, is Harry Cohen, the former chief legal adviser to the British Security Service, drawn back in as an impartial outsider because everybody is worried about Flint's safety - or are they? Much to his surprise, he finds himself tugging on a string of his own - and finds it leading him high into governments on both sides of the Atlantic, and into a conspiracy with unexpected resonances not only for him, but for Flint. For there are many kinds of betrayal. And some of them are worse than others....

Published in the US under the name Flint's Law . Grace Flint: The best undercover cop in the business and - since plastic surgeons re-built her shattered face - probably the most beautiful. Now Flint has a new career running operations, and she's running headlong into trouble. Operation Pentecost: An elaborate sting designed by Flint to trap Karl Kremer, former East German spy turned financial manipulator. But Pentecost has become a snare for Flint's undercover agents. One agent is already dead, and the evidence of treachery is mounting. Mandrake: MI6 codename for the traitor close enough to Flint to anticipate her every move. Who is Mandrake and who in the US government is determined to protect him? In Paul Eddy's stunning second novel Grace Flint is back in the firing line, tougher, bolder (and in more trouble) than before.
