Ava Glass

When a body is found in a padlocked suitcase, Investigator Emma
Makepeace knows it’s murder, and that it’s personal. In The
Traitor, Emma’s investigation sees her shadowing two oligarchs
procuring illegal weapons in the UK, and it’s looking
increasingly likely that someone deep inside the British
government is helping them.


Author Ava Glass joins Richard and Judy to talk about her own
experience of working with – and being followed by – spies when
she worked for the British government. Often in fiction
women seem to tumble into becoming spies by accident, but Ava’s
first-hand experience is that women actually make a very
deliberate career choice. Ava, who used to be a crime reporter in
the USA, also explains how different the job is there compared to
in the UK.
