Description
‘Immensely believable’ – Daily Mail
What happens when the world’s most notorious master-spy comes in from the Russian cold?
Vicious power politics in London and Moscow … murder beside the Black Sea … bloody massacres in the heart of Africa — as Philby makes his break, violent death follows him.
And British Intelligence is threatened with the exposure of the greatest infamy in its history …
Kim Philby, the most successful spy ever recruited by the Soviet Union, the famous ‘Third Man’ defector from the British Establishment classes, is now a Colonel in the KGB, working at a high level in Moscow. But supposing he wanted to come back …
After years of exile in Russia, Kim Philby has had enough. He wants out. But where can he go?
He knows too much to be let loose. Above all, he knows too much about his old accomplices, who still operate at the highest levels of the British Establishment, occupying top Whitehall positions.
So once he sticks his nose outside his privileged Soviet lair, the old wolf’s as good as dead. MI6, the KGB — above all, MI6 — will ruthlessly hunt him down. But Philby is, after all, one of the most skilful agents of all time. So he risks it.
Barry Cayle, a journalist, embarks upon writing a novel about the notorious Philby. The endeavour takes him across multiple cities, with the promise of Philby unlocking tightly-held secrets … ones that he could reveal … but will Philby get the chance?
