Riassunto

Jane Moneypenny may project a cool, calm and collected image but her secret diaries reveal a rather different story. In the grip of an uncertain love affair and haunted by a dark family secret, the last thing she needs is a crisis at work. But the Secret Intelligence Service is in chaos. One senior officer is on trial for treason, another has defected to Moscow and her beloved James Bond has been brainwashed by the KGB. Only a woman's touch can save them. Moneypenny soon finds herself embroiled in a highly-charged adventure infused with the glamour of the Cold War espionage game. Alone on a dangerous Russian mission she turns, with breathless intimacy, to writing a truly explosive private diary.

'Jane Moneypenny is the personification of chic sophistication and poise. She treats her 00 agents with good-humoured grace and, as every Bond lover knows, keeps 007 firmly in check. However, there is more to this lady than meets the GoldenEye, as she embarks on her very own secret mission to uncover the truth behind her father's murder. Read her riveting account in this explosive, page-turning diary. What a woman' (Hot Stars, OK Magazine)
