Rutter, Reborn begins where the fifth book, The Secret Angels, left off. Former Detective Chief Inspector, Julie Rutter, and her artist friend, Trudi Hammond, have been honourably discharged from MI6, following their mission to Austria to bring down neo-Nazi serial killer, Julian Radcliffe. They have also teamed up with that rarest of beings, a black Russian. Natalia Nicolayevna Ivanova has been granted British citizenship and taken the name, Anna Torrance. She is the surviving half of the most formidable hacking partnership on the planet, Lebed. The three of them begin a new life in London as the Secret Angels Private Investigation Agency. Before that, however, Rutter must reveal herself as having come back from the dead.
