The Chase by Eva Glass.

From the cover of the book:

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?

***********

In a race against time, The Chase follows a young female agent fresh out of spy training who has twelve hours to smuggle a Russian asset to safety across London. With Russian intelligence agents hot on their heels and with over 1 million CCTV camera’s watching their every step, one wrong move and they will both be dead. The Chase propels the reader across London’s night time parks, canals and underground rivers, through its hospitals, nightlife, secret tunnels and hidden alleyways in a heart-racing whistle-stop tour of the world’s most exciting city.


A former government operative with the highest security clearance bar one, Ava Glass has spent over a decade working with British spies at MI5 and MI6 before writing her first novel. Ava has trained spies, worked in counter terrorism, and been vetted to become a spy herself, so she knows a thing or two about what goes on behind closed government doors - and The Chase does not disappoint.
