Kompromat

The nerve agent worked liked they said, and now it’s time to tidy-up. Scoop the condom from the toilet, wipe surfaces for DNA, zip the body into the sports bag Zac’s Russian minders provided. By this evening this wetjob will be history, and Zac will be on the Eurostar heading back to safety in Budapest. Behind him in London a GCHQ agent will lie dead and undiscovered. The guy made a simple mistake: he didn’t know that this hook-up would be his last. Inspired by the still-unsolved 2010 murder of GCHQ agent Gareth Williams, Kompromat is a tense drama of double agents and our capacity for self-deception played out against a high-stakes game of love.
