London, 1956. A young woman has been found dead in a hotel in
King's Cross. It looks like an accident, and Scotland Yard isn't
interested in accidents. But Fleet Street journalist Gerry
Blackstone reckons there's more to it than meets the eye.
Meanwhile, Oxford is filling with Hungarian emigres fleeing the
failed revolution. Special Branch, concerned there could be Soviet
spies among the genuine refugees, send in DCI Jack McGovern to keep
an eye on proceedings. As McGovern plays spycatcher in Oxford and
Blackstone hunts for clues in the seedy corners of London, a
complex web of rogues, schemers and potential suspects starts to
emerge: the well-to-do madam, the Classics professor, the East
London crime boss, the government minister ... does it all lead
back to the dead girl in King's Cross? Or is there something even
more sinister going on?
