THE OUTSIDERS PB A FORMAT – GERALD SEYMOUR

Winnie Monks has never forgotten – or forgiven – the death of a young agent on her team at the hands of a former Russian Army Major turned gangster. Now, years later, she hears the Major is travelling to a villa on the Costa del Sol and she asks permission to send in a surveillance unit. They find an empty property near the Major s. The Villa Paraiso. It s perfect to spy from – and as a base for Winnie s darker, less official, plans. But it turns out that the property isn t deserted. The owners have invited a young British couple to house sit while they are away. For Jonno and Posie, just embarking on a relationship, this is supposed to be a carefree break in the sun. But when the Secret Service team arrives in paradise, everything changes.
