Previously published as Alias Emma. MOVE FAST. STAY DARK. These are the instructions sent to new operative Emma Makepeace. She's been assigned to track down a man wanted by the Russians and bring him into MI5.

It should be easy. But the Russians have eyes everywhere. Emma knows that if spotted she and her target will be killed. What follows is a perilous chase through London's night-time streets. But in a city full of cameras, where can you hide?

Born covered in the feathers of a bird, and kept hidden in a crumbling house full of secrets, Marea has always known she was different, but never known why. And so to find answers, she goes in search of the father she has never met. The hunt leads her to the City of Murmurs, a place of mermaids and mystery, where jars of swirling mist are carried through the streets by the broken-hearted. And Marea will never forget what she learns there.

When an MI6 operative is murdered in his London apartment, fellow spy Emma Makepeace knows the killer was professional. The dead spy had been investigating two Russian oligarchs suspected of selling chemical weapons from within the UK, and it seems likely there was a third man in the conspiracy - someone working from deep within the British government. To find the truth, Emma is sent undercover on a superyacht owned by one of the oligarchs.

Codenamed GOLD DUST, the operation takes her from the billionaire enclaves of the Cote d'Azur to the fashionable hotels of Barcelona, where she comes close to discovering what the Russians are planning. As the danger ratchets up and the chase intensifies, Emma knows that no one is safe until the third man is caught - and that she is in terrifying danger ...
