En equilibrio perfecto entre KILLING EVE y JAMES BOND, Alias Emma es una lectura exhilarante y propulsiva protagonizada por una espía tremendamente ingeniosa. Emma Makepeace tiene 12 horas para cruzar Londres con un activo al que ha de proteger. Para ello, deberá de esquivar todas las cámaras de la ciudad, pues Rusia las ha hackeado para encontrarla.
Emma está a punto de pasar la noche más larga de su vida... Si sobrevive a ella. Nada sobre Emma Makepeace es real, ni siquiera su nombre. Es agente secreta y trabaja para la Agencia, una misteriosa organización gubernamental que acaba de encargarle su primera misión de envergadura. Su objetivo: poner a salvo a un hombre inocente, Michael Primalov, perseguido por el servicio secreto ruso. Para ello, deberán moverse sin ser descubiertos a través de Londres, una de las urbes más vigiladas del mundo. Pero cuando el enemigo hackea el famoso «anillo de acero» de la capital británica, Emma y Michael se ven obligados a evitar los cientos de miles de cámaras que documentan cada rincón. Su intención es llegar a la sede del MI6 antes del amanecer, pero los espías rusos les pisan los talones y la situación se recrudece cuando Emma pierde todo contacto con su enlace en la Agencia. Todo depende de ella. Y cualquier paso en falso hará que los maten.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“A thrilling read . . . I could not have loved it more.”—LISA JEWELL
“Emma Makepeace is a worthy heir to the James Bond mantle.”—JAMES PATTERSON
In this breakneck, race-against-the-clock thriller, a British spy has twelve hours to deliver her asset across London after Russia hacks the city’s security cameras. Can she make it without being spotted . . . or killed?
Nothing about Emma Makepeace is real. Not even her name.
A newly minted secret agent, Emma's barely graduated from basic training when she gets the call for her first major assignment. Eager to serve her country and prove her worth, she dives in headfirst.
Emma must covertly travel across one of the world’s most watched cities to bring the reluctant—and handsome—son of Russian dissidents into protective custody, so long as the assassins from the Motherland don’t find him first. With London’s famous Ring of Steel hacked by the Russian government, the two must cross the city without being seen by the hundreds of thousands of CCTV cameras that document every inch of the city’s streets, alleys, and gutters.
Buses, subways, cars, and trains are out of the question. Traveling on foot, and operating without phones or bank cards that could reveal their location or identity, they have twelve hours to make it to safety. This will take all of Emma’s skills of disguise and subterfuge. But when Emma’s handler goes dark, there’s no one left to trust. And just one wrong move will get them both killed.
