A British thriller featuring “the most interesting character to hit novels of international intrigue since the spy came in from the cold” (Newsday).   It could be the most sensational defection of all time. The head of the Russian KGB’s cipher section comes with every code, every plot, every secret. But his most startling disclosure of all is that the Russians are planning a shocking assassination.   But the defector doesn’t know who. Or where. Or how. Or when. All Charlie knows is that he must stop the murder from happening—without being marked for death himself.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
