THE STORY: In 1947, Britain is at its lowest ebb. The country is impoverished, rationing is still in full force - and then winter hits with a vengeance. For seven weeks, it snows everywhere, temperatures don't rise above freezing and there are power cuts every day. The secret service was been penetrated and Britain is more vulnerable than ever, a fact that is not lost on Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. He decides it is time to send his master of 'Special Tasks' to create more chaos - and, above all, to protect a communist super-spy who has the secrets of the atomic bomb at his fingertips. Freya Bentall, a senior MI5 officer no longer knows who to trust and is left with one option: to bring in an outsider whose loyalty is beyond question - Cambridge professor Tom Wilde. His task: to find the traitor in MI5.
