Meet Rupert Hood. Every day he joins the wage slaves commuting to Putney, in south-west London, to one more apparently dull job in a high street estate agents. But the company is a front—for the UK's intelligence service. And Rupert Hood isn’t an estate agent. He’s a secret agent. In the second of Andrew Cartmel's brilliant re-imaginings of the classic 1960s spy caper, Rupert Hood is thrown back into action—and facing the deadliest challenge of his career. Someone has been scavenging waste plutonium and using it to create a bomb. A deadly terror attack is planned on the City of London—one that could ruin the global financial system. But who? And why? Hunting down the terrorists means Rupert going undercover in one of the world's most sophisticated and wealthiest 'event-driven' hedge funds to learn more about the likely target. But as Rupert gets to grips with the world of high finance, events are about to be driven out of control—with catastrophic consequences. And in a nerve-shredding chase he must confront the deadliest—and strangest—opponent of his life.
