Two fearless reporters. An unlikely source on the run for their life. A rogue government conspiracy that will do anything to stop them. Tom Novak, cocky star reporter for The Republic, has never played by the rules. He found fame with a story using leaked classified documents, but he hasn't filed a story in six months, the magazine is nearly bankrupt, and now the U.S. government wants to charge him with espionage. In a bid to save the magazine, he is paired with Stella Mitchell, Republic's fearless new Foreign Affairs correspondent from England. And it doesn't take long for sparks to fly, and conflict to ignite. They're sent to report on a shocking act of violence in London that brings the British government to its knees. But telling the truth can be deadly. So when Stella finds a link to the suspicious death of a GCHQ agent, the evidence points to an audacious cover-up with global implications. As ghosts from Mitchell's tabloid past resurface, and Novak confronts a terrible secret about the story that made his name, the pair find themselves caught up in an international conspiracy, and on the run for their lives.

Official Secrets and Oversight in the EU
Author: Vigjilenca Abazi
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192578634
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
This monograph offers a uniquely comprehensive and in-depth legal account of official secrets in the European Union. It critically analyses their implications for oversight and fundamental rights. Based on forty interviews with practitioners and other stakeholders, it offers an understanding of the practices of official secrets and provides a critical and much-needed perspective on how parliamentary, judicial and administrative oversight institutions deal with access to classified material and the dilemma of oversight to concurrently ensure secrecy necessary for EU security policies and openness needed for democratic processes and fundamental rights. The book discerns shifts in institutional practice of oversight at the European Parliament and the Court of Justice of the European Union that disproportionately favour secrecy and the protection of classified documents while creating serious limitations to open democratic deliberations and access to justice, and delivers new insights on the EU's development as a security actor as well as its autonomy from Member States, showing how rules on official secrets were a means for the EU to gain more autonomy in external security cooperation.

Secrets of the Tally

Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Meet Allie: she's just woken up in an empty forest with blood on her hands and everything she's ever known wiped from her mind. In her survival-oriented world, people are hunted by vicious predators and it quickly becomes clear that they are specifically hunting her. Allie's friends and sister have no insight as to why she's a target, and her only clue is a list of tally marks she finds tucked away, detailing how many lives she's saved and how many deaths she's caused. Judging by the amount of ink slashed across the page and the fact that nobody seems to know about it, Allie knows she used to have secrets that need to be recovered. Without knowing whom to trust, she finds herself drawn to a new stranger in the caves they call home, and even though he won't talk about his own past, he's ready to help Allie recover hers. The problem now is that Allie's instinct to survive is the only thing strong enough to bring her memories back. Flashes of her old self will only surface to save her from life threatening danger, so if she wants to avoid living as an echo of her former self, danger is what she must seek.

Espionage and Secrecy (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Rosamund Thomas
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113487698X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This prize-winning book, first published in 1991, provides a detailed legal account of the development of the UK Official Secrets Acts 1911-1989. In particular, the Espionage section (s.1) of this criminal law is analysed carefully, illustrated by leading cases of UK spies prosecuted under this section, particularly during the 1980’s — including MI5 officer Michael Bettaney and Geoffrey Prime who worked at GCHQ. The author also examines problems of evidence in espionage prosecutions, and the consent of the Attorney-General in cases under the Official Secrets Acts. This book remains the definitive treatise on the UK Official Secrets Acts, especially concerning the espionage provisions.
