The Spymaster

We have always been fascinated by spies – people who live secret and dangerous lives in the shadows.

In this book, you will read about how spying has developed over the centuries – from simple codes and double agents, to hi-tech modern spies using technology to steal and sell information.

If you are interested in how Queen Elizabeth’s spymaster found out that there was a plan to kill her and take over the country; or how Mata Hari, a glamorous and beautiful spy, used her charm and intelligence to steal secrets in World War One; or how Edward Snowden managed to obtain documents that the British and American governments really didn’t want anyone to know about... then this book is for you.
