Summary
Alex knows a spy when he sees one. The man who stands before him should be nervous, hand twitching for his gun, now that he’s face-to-face with his mission for the first time. Alex knows the man’s a spy because he recognises the dead-eyed face that stares back at him from the mirror each morning.
There is a spy on Port de Pollenca, and he is going to take away everything Alex has managed to scavenge from the wreck MI6 made of his life.
Or
The Night Manager AU: Yassen is semi-retired and has semi-adopted Alex. They are guests of Richard Roper (billionaire with suspicious origin of wealth) while Yassen finalises his role in what he claims is an agricultural equipment company. But Alex wasn’t trained as a spy yesterday and knows that not all is as it seems. His suspicions are heightened by the appearance of a mysterious stranger on the island.
The stranger - a British spy, if Alex ever saw one - has infiltrated whatever it is that Yassen has gotten himself into. Now it is up to Alex to get them both out and away before they lose everything Alex is so desperate to keep.
