THE
SPY'S DAUGHTER, now retitled BAGHDAD SPY, is the story
of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service told from the unique perspective
of the daughter of a senior spy. Corinne Souza breaks the last taboo
of espionage as she describes the impact it can have on a spy's family.
Souza also explains how, rather like Sydney in the TV series Alias, she
was expected to assume her father's mantle by becoming a spy herself.
Serial rights have been sold to a leading Sunday broadsheet. An interview
is also confirmed with Midweek, Radio 4 and the Daily Mail have confirmed
a review.
