OverviewWhat if the head of the Soviet secret police had kept a diary of his murders and sexual exploits? If published it would cause a scandal. Two journalists have the knowledge and the contacts to put together such a diary, and offer the rights to a publisher in the West for a million dollars in an unnamed Swiss bank account. Secrecy is everything. Featuring spies Philby, Burgess and McClean, drunken dinners in dachas on the Black Sea, and all the excesses of the Aprachiks in the Politbureau, this is an exotic romp through Cold War Russia, with tension high throughout. Allan Williams has made this one of the most sensational thrillers of our time. Spy fiction from the same stable as Ian Fleming's James Bond.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationALAN was a journalist who covered most of the world's trouble spots, among them Vietnam, Israel during the Six Day War, Czechoslovakia during the Soviet invasion, Ulster, Mozambique, and Rhodesia. He gained a controversial reputation: in Algeria both the French army and the Arabs complained about him; in Beirut he encountered Kim Philby the day before he left for Moscow. Alan was also involved in the Hungarian Revolution, and bluffed his way into East Germany when it was closed to the world. He has put all this experience to excellent use in books that will thrill fans of Len Deighton, Ian Fleming, and the great spy stories that kept viewers spellbound in the 1960s and 70s.
