Not long ago I enjoyed an interview with this author and have been collecting his work ever since. However, this is my first read by this talented writer.
The tale begins in England with a retired treasury worker (undercover spy), Tim, deep into his retired life living with a beautiful young woman named Emma, doing good in his community and raising grapes to make into a mediocre wine.
Then his friend, Larry, disappears and with him the lovely Emma. The police and the British spy network believe that Tim knows all about it and is perhaps the mastermind. At first Tim truthfully with reservations relates his interactins with Larry but no one believes him. Millions have disappeared from the Russians and everyone is looking for Larry. The police and British spy network believe that Tim is in league with Larry. No matter how much he denies involvement the pressure on him becomes more intense until at last he decides he must find Larry himself. He goes undercover and discovers a war into which the idealistic Larry has thrust himself. He finds Emma in Paris and heads to Russia to locate Larry. What he finds is what he fears but also his own destiny. This is a complex and twisting read that keeps the reader guessing what will happen next. I liked it a good deal.
