KILLING EVE MEETS MICK HERRON IN THIS GRIPPING AND WITTY PAGE-TURNER ABOUT HAVING IT ALL, KEEPING IT ALL AND SURVIVING IT ALL.

'Takes spy fiction to a new level' CLAIRE ALLAN
Lex Tyler is trying to have it all, but being a working mother is so much more difficult when you're a secret agent for an underground branch of the security services.
Platform Eight have been tasked with tracking down and eliminating the traitor in MI6 who has been selling information to the highest bidder through a headhunting website for the criminal underworld that connects intelligence operatives with all manner of bad people with a simple right swipe.
Deals get made. Secrets get sold. Missions fail. Agents die.
It's down to Lex and her team to identify and eliminate the traitor before they assassinate China's Minister of Commerce and ruin relations between the UK and China forever. But when your husband doesn't know exactly what your job entails and the future of the intelligence services rests on your shoulders, can one working mother save the day?
This is one mission that Lex cannot afford to fail. Asia Mackay is a Chinese Scottish author and mother of four based in London. Asia studied Anthropology at Durham University, after which she started a career in television. She presented and produced lifestyle programmes in Shanghai before moving back to London, where she worked for Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as Project Manager on their round the world motorbike documentaries. Killing It, her debut novel, was the First Runner Up in Richard and Judy's Search for a Bestseller competition and First Runner Up for the Comedy Women In Print prize. From the author of KILLING IT, 'exceptionally recognised' by the 2019 CWIP Prize. The first book (KILLING IT) received high praise across the board - including quotes from Hugh Grant, Clare Mackintosh, Marian Keyes, L.S. Hilton and The Sunday Times. KILLING IT has been optioned for film (42 Media) and international rights are selling fast There really isn't anything like this in the market at the moment - and it's time this changed! Killing It was the runner-up in 2017 Richard & Judy Search for a Bestseller and first runner-up in the inaugural CWIP (Comedy Women in Print) Prize in 2019. I so enjoyed this funny, tense, and thrilling read, with a kick-ass main character There's everything here you'd want from a straight espionage story: pace, trade craft, inventive but plausible jargon, violence, hair's-breadth escapes and weltschmerz . . . Mackay is a very welcome addition to the ranks of new writers who are freeing espionage fiction from the stranglehold of solemnity A lethally addictive blend of domestic suspense and hard-driving thriller. Set aside some time for this one - you won't be able to put it down British Intelligence's Most Deadly Mum is back in action! Asia Mackay's The Nursery is funny, fast and full-tilt! A cracking book - funny, thrilling, touching. It's as if mum-lit was on crack with shades of Killing Eve. This is a thrilling, original and funny read which takes spy fiction to a new level. I loved it I LOVED this. Wildly entertaining with a brilliantly witty main protagonist and a banging good story to boot . . . This, like Killing It, is a brilliant hybrid of espionage and family drama with an edgy, involving prose that will have you laughing out loud one moment and clutching your head the next. Cleverly plotted and engagingly humorous this is a book to savour. Forget Killing Eve, Lex Tyler is the far superior creation and I hope for many many more novels to come Funny, entertaining, clever and original, this is mum-power on turbo charge! Asia Mackay continues to blaze a trail through the spy genre. Edgy and unforgettable, The Nursery sees Lex Tyler and the team in fierce (and fabulous) form. I couldn't love this series more If you like action-packed stories with fab characters that you ca
