[close] An exciting novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat, Alias Emma is a fast-paced, thrilling story of a young British spy, Emma Makepeace. Following in her father's footsteps, she's brand-new to the Agency and already deep undercover, tasked with bringing the brilliant son of Russian defectors to safety. With her contact from the Agency suddenly AWOL, no backup to help her out, and danger at every turn, Emma has 12 hours to bring her charge to safety, all while avoiding London's "Ring of Steel" - the hundreds of thousands of CCTV cameras lining the streets - which has been hacked by the enemy.

If this book were a movie, I would totally watch it! In many ways, it reminded me of Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn, another book I really enjoyed and would love to watch a film adaptation of. This is the perfect book for anyone who enjoys spy-thrillers, especially for fans of Killers of a Certain Age.
