The Retreat

By Anne Morgellyn

 

Detective Inspector Mackie Divine has been hardened by decades in the Metropolitan Police Force.

After years of loyal service, she faces suspension and is approached by an agent of the Special Intelligence Services for a surveillance operation.

The case takes her to an isolated château in Brittany, France.

She will be a guest of The Retreat, a community of social misfits, led by Peter Roman, a charismatic philosopher and therapist.

Her task is to gain the trust of Roman and his group, and to investigate Babel – a group of extreme right-wing influential figures hell bent on organising terrorist attacks and causing civil unrest – who regularly gather at The Retreat.

Mackie fails to take their presence seriously…until a series of arson and racially provoked attacks take place in the neighbouring town.

Soon riots begin across Europe: Berlin, Milan and Marseilles are in flames.

With tensions escalating and time running out, Mackie is ordered to keep her head down and eyes up.

She must not underestimate the danger of the Babel group.

Can she get to the heart of the matter and save her career?

Or will she become a victim of the dangerous group controlling The Retreat?
