What the papers say

The Guardian

"David Bickford has used his inside knowledge and experience of Britain's Security & Intelligence Agencies to write an immensely readable modern thriller. Placed against a background of contemporary international politics and intrigue, it is a fast moving read which is both compelling and frightening.”

” The most dangerous secrets now aren’t buried—they’re shared, believed, and weaponised before anyone checks the truth.”
