The Traitor

"An MI6 operative is found dead, locked in a suitcase inside his own apartment. Despite an exhaustive search, no fingerprints are found at the scene. Emma Makepeace and her handler Ripley know an assassination when they see one, and such an obvious murder can mean only one thing: someone is sending a message. As she digs into his past, Emma discovers that the unfortunate spy had been investigating two Russian oligarchs based in London. He'd become obsessed with the idea that the two were spies, aided by a third man--whose identity he had yet to uncover. When he shared his findings within MI6 in the weeks before he died, the response came back fast and clear: drop the investigation and move on. Had he uncovered a secret that cost him his life?"--
