Montrose is an agent in Section 8, a secretive part of MI6 who allow their agents to break the law in order to get information and results.
Her boss Kingshurst seems very anxious to keep her on her feet after the Queen dies and the Secret Services go on high alert expecting world dignitaries to be in the UK.
Then she learns her lover has been murdered and she goes AWOL to find her killer. The IRA men she used to hunt become her allies, the people she worked with for ten years become suspicious of her and her revenge is taken in contravention of her orders.
Tough, deadly and above all human, Montrose is the anti-heroine we all love. |
