A "Washington Post" Notable Fiction Book for 2011
The most closely-guarded secret of the Cold War is about to be
exposed - the identity of a SIXTH member of the infamous Cambridge
spy ring. And people are killing for it...
London, 1992. Late one night, Edward Crane, 76, is declared dead
at a London hospital. An obituary describes him only as a
'resourceful career diplomat'. But Crane was much more than that -
and the circumstances surrounding his death are far from what they
seem.
Fifteen years later, academic Sam Gaddis needs money. When a
journalist friend asks for his help researching a possible sixth
member of the notorious Trinity spy ring, Gaddis knows that she's
onto a story that could turn his fortunes around. But within hours
the journalist is dead, apparently from a heart attack.
Taking over her investigation, Gaddis trails a man who claims to
know the truth about Edward Crane. Europe still echoes with decades
of deadly disinformation on both sides of the Iron Curtain. And as
Gaddis follows a series of leads across the continent, he
approaches a shocking revelation - one which will rock the
foundations of politics from London to Moscow...
"Cumming's novel is characterized by a gripping sense of
realism. He displays a vast knowledge of spycraft and Cold War
history, and the dense, three-dimensional world he crafts comes
complete with seedy hotels and smoky nightclubs. The result is
absolutely gripping. Taut, atmospheric and immersive--an instant
classic." - "Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) on "The Trinity
Six"
"The Trinity Six" is a Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 Thrillers
title.
