The Downing Street Plot: An Agent's Revenge
By Toby Oliver
Spencer Hall, head of the British MI5 Security Service, knows it's no ordinary day when top CIA field agent Jack Stein lurks near his car. He's right, and when he learns of the looming internal threat, he knows it won't be business as usual.
Hall must bypass usual communication routes and put increased trust in Jack when he learns of an assassination plot against the British Prime Minister. The plot's KGB-hatched, but the assassin's possibly homegrown—meaning Hall doesn't know just how close the assassin is to the target.
Hall works close with Stein to put together a top-notch team to crack the mystery and stop the plot in time. After all, they can't have a professional killer running loose on the streets of London. They reenlist old friends such as Virginia Dudley, who's done intelligence work for both nations, and work fast. Failure would likely mean the end of their careers. Worse, if they get too close, it could be the end of their lives.

MY HONEST REVIEW OF The Downing Street Plot
When an
undercover CIA operative reveals a KGB plot to assassinate the Prime Minister,
Agent Jack Stein reaches out to his old spy buddy, Spencer Hall. When Spencer
starts assembling a team that he can trust, he runs into resistance. It seems
retired spies want to stay retired. But when the operative relays further
intelligence, Spencer discovers that the assassin could be a former co-worker
with a grudge.
This was an
enjoyable spy thriller. The main characters had history between them, but it is
all laid out from the start. I really liked Spencer. He was an uncompromising
character, and surrounded himself with the same. At times, I felt like I was
part of the team, trying to beat the clock. This was an intriguing plot, and it
down-played politics, which is always a plus.
