About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Hidden Hand by Stella Rimington, read by Penelope Rawlins.

A historic institution is hiding a very modern threat.

The student
Li Min, a Chinese student, is forced by her government to transfer from Harvard to Oxford University, where she is recruited to an elite Chinese study centre based out of St Felix’s College.

The scapegoat
Meanwhile, the centre’s newly recruited head stumbles on its more sinister purpose: recruiting Chinese and sympathetic British students to steal high-value research and intellectual property. Unsure who at the university he can trust, he turns to CIA agent Manon Tyler for help.

The spy who might be their only hope...
But as Li and another Chinese-American student are drawn deeper into a deadly game, will Manon be able to penetrate the heart of St Felix’s secrets in time to save them?

Another excellent outing for Manon

An up to date spy novel with AI Deepfake at its centre. Manon’s reappearance delights, but the narrator lets the book down. I nearly gave up after the narrator’s normal voice is replaced by dreadful accents, which change as the story proceeds. However, the story is such a good one, that my recommendation is to persist and enjoy the action in Oxford!
