"Former Secret intelligence service operative Daniel Grant has recently started his most complex posting yet – setting up and running Shady Fields, a residential home for former spies. The clientele collectively hold some of the country’s deepest secrets. And as their minds become less focused, the risk of these explosive memories being released grows. Dan’s job is to keep the residents safe, and their knowledge protected.
But Shady Fields is under threat from a review being carried out by Bernard Cummings, an MI5 Director with secrets of his own. If he gets his way, the home will be closed, and its residents left to fend for themselves. But there’s more to his involvement than simple economics – his desperation to bury his own past could have devastating consequences."
