Everyone knows about the Cambridge Spies from the Fifties,
identified and broken up after passing national secrets to the
Soviets for years… But no spy ring was ever unearthed at Oxford.
Because one never existed? Or because it was never found…? 2022:
Former spy Simon Sharman is eking out a living in the private
sector. When a commission to delve into the financial dealings of a
mysterious Russian oligarch comes across his desk, he jumps at the
chance. But as Simon investigates, worrying patterns begin to
emerge. His subject made regular trips to Oxford, but for no
apparent reason. There are payments from offshore accounts that
suddenly just… stop. Has he found what none of his former
colleagues believed possible, a Russian spy ring now nestled at the
heart of the British Establishment? Or is he just another paranoid
ex-spook left out in the cold, obsessed with redemption? From
Oxford’s hallowed quadrangles to brush contacts on Hampstead
Heath, agent-running in Vienna and mysterious meetings in Prague, A
Spy Alone is a gripping international thriller and a searing
portrait of modern Britain in the age of cynical populism. Perfect
for readers of Charles Cumming, Mick Herron and John le Carré.
