The brilliant opening novel of the Catesby series, by a former
special forces officer and 'the thinking person's John le Carre'
'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carre'
Irish Independent 'More George Smiley than James Bond, Catesby will
delight those readers looking for less blood and more intelligence
in their spy thrillers' Publishers Weekly London, 1956. The height
of the Cold War. On the face of it, Kit Fournier is a senior
diplomat at the US embassy in Grosvenor Square. But that's not the
full story. He is also CIA Chief of Station. With the nuclear arms
race looming large, Kit goes undercover to meet with his KGB
counterpart to pass on secret information about British spies. In a
world where truth means deception and love means honey trap, sexual
blackmail and personal betrayal are essential skills. As the H-bomb
apocalypse hangs over London, Kit Fournier faces a crisis of the
soul. The unveiling of his own dark personal secrets will prove
more deadly than any of his coded dispatches. 'A glorious, seething
broth of historical fact and old-fashioned spy story' The Times 'A
sophisticated, convincing novel that shows governments and their
secret services as cynically exploitative and utterly ruthless'
Sunday Telegraph Praise for Edward Wilson: 'Stylistically
sophisticated . . . Wilson knows how to hold the reader's
attention' W.G. Sebald 'A reader is really privileged to come
across something like this' Alan Sillitoe
