In Dead Line, MI5 Officer Liz Carlyle uncovers a plot threatening a Middle East peace conference, racing against time to prevent disaster.

In Dead Line, MI5 Intelligence Officer Liz Carlyle faces a daunting challenge as she learns of a potential threat to an upcoming Middle East peace conference scheduled to be held at Gleneagles in Scotland. With the stakes incredibly high, the future of the entire region hangs in the balance, and time is running out. As the conference approaches, the pressure mounts for Liz to uncover the truth behind the alarming intelligence she has received.

Summoned by her superior, Charles Wetherby, who heads the Counter-Espionage Branch, Liz is thrust into a world of espionage and intrigue. MI6 has reported concerning information from a trusted Syrian source, indicating that two individuals are planning a spectacular operation to disrupt the peace conference. This act of sabotage is designed to implicate Syria, further complicating an already volatile situation. As Liz delves deeper, she realizes that the threat is not only imminent but also shrouded in layers of deception.

As she navigates this treacherous landscape, Liz must unravel the mystery of these unknown operatives. Are they acting independently, or is there a mastermind orchestrating their actions? With the clock ticking and the conference deadline drawing near, Liz races against time to prevent a catastrophe that could alter the course of history in the Middle East. Dead Line is a gripping tale of suspense, danger, and the relentless pursuit of truth.
