Reviews
When Lord Mountbatten was assassinated in 1979, the culprits were said to be Irish radicals. A less-known theory is that he was murdered for his role in preventing the assassination of Khrushchev during a summit meeting in England in 1956. In this fictional recounting, the young spy "Christopher Robin"who served the British so well in The Paladin by Brian Garfield and Creighton ( LJ 4/15/80)returns to active service. Through the combined efforts of a Romanov duchess, a sharp naval intelligence aide, and an alcoholic British frogman named Lionel Crabb, Robin unravels the plot and saves the day. Creighton, himself a former spy, reveals the whole story and his own part in it for the awed entertainment of the reading public. Fans will surely hope for more such exposes.
