Severin seems a simple families man. Accountant by profession, members of his local synagogue, keeping his head down. Keeping the books of a rogue group from M15 should have warned Severin not to play any kind of games with the ruthless five.
Connecting random links starting with Joseph Severins hopeless infatuation for Lottie, who is in love with Patrick an a drug addicted actor, and a Russian escort Sonya who is desperately trying to make up funds needed for her daughters operation in whatever way she could. Joseph hiding the account books with Lottie, put her in direct danger and the killer Mr Phipps. A meticulous and clever killer Mr Phipps would never think he could be thwarted in his attempt to obtain the books but he was by the very savvy Sonya. Espionage was everywhere in the story, spies followed Mr Phipps and the five and the books were duly handed over to people who would follow the trail to mete out justice when they could.
Everything dovetails nicely, lots get killed, some escape (for the moment) ready to face another day. Some have a happy ending and you do cheer for them. Very entertaining read.

Looking at this picture nostalgic feelings of when I could go travelling again. Just have to wait.
