Sir Thomas Arkenshaw, a Baronet, medievalist and British intelligence officer, is tasked with minding David Audley while he meets with a KGB counterpart in remote Exmoor, England. Audley is from a competing department and Sir Thomas is supposed to report back to his boss, who wants to trip Audley up, under the guise of protecting him. The internal politics of British intelligence are simple compared to the larger politics surrounding the meeting. The machinations of the KGB against the pro-Solidarity movement in Poland are what prompt the requested meeting. Everyone is plotting against everyone else, and Sir Thomas and Audley are caught up in it, but they’re no rubes themselves. Extremely intelligent writing about the politics of espionage. I’m already searching for more of Anthony Price’s novels. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
