Stella Rimington

Stella Rimington – on counter-espionage and all things secretive, in conversation with Jessica Fellowes. What do you know about MI5? What does Liz Carlyle know? What do you know about modern-day cyber-sabotage of world defence systems? What’s real and what’s imagined?

Former Director General of MI5, with first-hand experience of counter-subversion, counter-espionage, and counter-terrorism, Dame Stella Rimington knows a thing or two about all of this stuff and has the experience to give her fictional writing a ring of authenticity. She has written her autobiography and five Liz Carlyle novels. Her latest is The Geneva Trap. Jessica Fellowes is a journalist and author of five books, most recent of which is The Chronicles of Downton Abbey.
