Synopsis: As the Great Fog of 1952 descends on London, MI5 outcast Herbert Smith stumbles upon a secret that will change the world - if he can stay alive long enough to tell it. A page-turner in the vein of 'Enigma' from the bestselling author of 'Messiah'. 1952. As the fog rolls in, the chase begins. . . He was once a war hero but was demoted and demoralized after his part in one of the worst scandals in M-I5's history. Now, former field agent Herbert Smith can only muster mild interest when a stranger approaches him to arrange a drop-off of highly sensitive information. But when a body turns up instead of state secrets, he is forced to act. As the Great Smog descends on London causing chaos and death, Herbert sees a chance to redeem himself. Foreign journalists, secretive academics and rival intelligence agencies are all vying to get to the truth first, however, and as the body count climbs, it's clear some are prepared to kill for it. Alone, with even his own masters out to stop him, what possible chance does Herbert have against the CIA and KGB?
