Tom Marlowe's partner Trix Preston hasn't mentioned Operation CASTLE ROCK in five years. She doesn't need to–it was pre-MI5 hacking work, corporate espionage to pay off a debt, nothing worth remembering. Until three GCHQ analysts connected to CASTLE ROCK turn up dead across Europe, one every seventy-two hours. Someone is eliminating everyone who knew about the operation–a five-year-old MI5 project buried in Edinburgh's financial district where British Intelligence's black budget meets corporate fraud. Trix's name is on the list. The assassin is already in Scotland.

But where does this term come from and what exactly does it mean?
