Hostile Intent

The rules of the game have changed…

It is the spring of 1991 when a minor British official trading low-grade information with Galina Kutuzova – an equally low-key Russian informant – is blown up in a neo-Nazi riot in Dresden.

To the British government it is a small affair and Peter Ashton, a mid-ranking and always dependable agent, is asked to arrive at the acceptable explanation that it was a random accident.

But after a nearly lethal trip to Leningrad and Moscow, Ashton believes that the suddenly elusive Galina has defected to America.

And to make matters worse, silencing her is now high on the Russians' list of priorities.

Galina must know too much to have fled so far.

To convince the British Foreign Office and the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency, Ashton hatches a plan that puts him at extreme personal and professional risk.

With gut-wrenching suspense and clear-ringing authenticity, Clive Egleton tightens suspense like a slipknot as American and British agents converge at a Rocky Mountain safe house to pay back the KGB for five decades of Hostile Intent
