In a dangerous world nothing is straightforward. Not even murder.
‘Judd…knows his stuff when it comes to the milieu of
espionage.’ The Times ‘An elegant and informed British
espionage novel.’ Financial Times ‘Authentic, clever and
wonderfully entertaining.’ Sir Richard Dearlove, former
head of MI6Â 'We can't think of a better Christmas
read.' Oxford Alumni Magazine  ‘He saw Cleaner Bob
arrive that morning, the morning of his death.’  In the
peaceful towns and villages of England, Cleaner Bob is washing
windows, and people are dying in sudden and unexpected
circumstances. When it becomes clear that the victims have a common
history as Russian defectors, foul play is suspected and a hunt
begins to locate their assailant, the lethal poison that killed
them, and the mole who is leaking their locations. Â In a
race against time, only one man has the connections and experience
to crack the case before more people perish. Charles Thoroughgood,
former head of MI6, is enjoying retirement in the Oxfordshire
hamlet he calls home when the call comes in. A man of duty, he
agrees to take part in a mission that will lead him into the heart
of enemy territory and threaten to undermine the very values he
holds most dear. Â Tense, engrossing and terrifyingly
believable, the latest Charles Thoroughgood novel is a timely and
brilliant reminder that Alan Judd is a master of the spy thriller
and a writer of the very highest quality. Â
