Clown town : a novel [sound recording (CD)]

David Cartwright, long buried, has left his library to the Spooks' College in Oxford, and now one of the books is missing. Or perhaps it never existed. River Cartwright has some time to kill while awaiting medical clearance to return to work, and starts investigating the secrets of his grandfather's library. An operation carried out during the height of the Troubles laid bare the ugly side of state security, and those involved are threatening to expose details. But every threat hides an opportunity, and MI5 First Desk Diana Taverner has come up with a scheme. All she needs is the right dupe to get caught holding the bag.
