The Enemy is a first person narrative espionage thriller novel by English author Desmond Bagley, first published in 1977.
Plot introduction
Malcolm Jaggard is, on the surface, a marketing research consultant. However, his real job is with MI5 in industrial espionage counter-intelligence. On a whim after he becomes engaged to genetics researcher Penny Ashton, he runs a computer search on her father, the wealthy and respectable entrepreneur George Ashton. Much to his amazement, he finds that any and all information regarding George Ashton is classified at an astronomically high level, and that he is not regarded as having a “need to know”. Furthermore, the very act of researching information on George Ashton sends alarm bells ringing in multiple departments in the Whitehall hierarchy. If this was not bad enough, a mysterious attacker throws acid in the face of his fiancé’s younger sister, causing the mysterious George Ashton to flee England. Without being allowed to know more about Ashton, Jaggard is sent on a desperate search to find him, racing the KGB to the forests of Sweden, and eventually to the Scottish highlands, where he finds that the true enemy is much closer to home.
