Alias Emma, Glass - B+
Emma Makepace is a junior officer with MI6, whose boss asks her to speak to a young physician in London. Michael's parents were former Soviet defectors, and now decades after the fact, Russian hit men are fanning out all over Europe killing their friends and colleagues who worked in the nuclear program years ago. A revenge inspired series of killings leads to Michael's parents being taken into protective custody. Michael refuses, and the hope is that he may listen to a younger person. Emma approaches him and he does refuse, but changes his mind when Russian agents make an appearance at his place of work. Emma and Michael must get to MI6 HQ's, but are completely stymied by the fact that Russians have hijacked London's ubiquitous CCTV system. They cannot go a block without being seen. Off they go through back alleys, hidden mews, on a canal, underground where the Fleet River still flows, and onto the Thames in a stolen inflatable. Russians are at every corner, but Emma gets Michael to safety. Excellent thriller hijinks.
