Desdemona Jones is an average British 20-something, average in everything except for her unofficial job title - 'spy'. Picked up out of university to work for a private intelligence company based in London she has spent the last four years bugging phones and tailing cheating husbands. Now her boss has decided that she is ready for her first big case. Follow Desdemona as she takes on an undercover assignment on a Mini Challenge racing team. Not only must she collect evidence to convict the team's sponsor and cosmetics magnate of smuggling drugs through Europe but she must also contend with her possibly deranged, definitely amoral boss, her seductive and serially unfaithful ex-boyfriend and a homicidal, pea-soup hurling team-mate, not to mention her mother.
