The debriefing of Russian defector Colonel Petrov is nearly over, when suddenly he dries up. SIS agent James Lawler has to find out why, but Petrov will only say he is scared of being killed – like British double-agent George Blake.
But Blake had escaped to Russia, alive. Or had he? To uncover the deadly truth, Lawler has to delve into the murky, intricate past of a traitor and learn the explosive truth behind what could lead a man to betray his country.

Allbeury's gift for astute psychological insight into the make-up and motivation of a spy, and he combines it with expert story telling.
A master of the genre ... he writes as sensitively on matters of the heart as he does on cloak and dagger daring-do.
A masterpiece of tension
A splendid story that grips like a vice fom the very start
