Overview

The Emir of oil-rich Al-Kamat is in danger. His three sons are each conspiring to succeed him, and the Soviets are stirring up rebellion. Someone is plotting to hijack his plane, so Clemency goes undercover as a stewardess. But as they fly at 10,000 feet over the sandy wastes of the Empty Quarter, Clemency realises one of the crew is a traitor, and her life, and that of forty passengers, is at stake. Third in the series featuring Clemency White, a cypher clerk in the Foreign Office who ends up as a secret agent for MI6. With 60s glamour, exotic locations, plenty of action and a strong female lead, they mix the excitement of the Connery Bond era with a feminine sensibility. The series is on-topic for 2021, with the same 1960s settings and themes of women’s place in society as The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and The Queen’s Gambit.
