Synopsis
1987, New English Library, UK hardcover edition, 224 pages. The story begins with the Russian revolution and a young English sailor who jumps ship and commits himself to the Bolshevik cause. The author weaves his novel around the 1960 real-life downing of American pilot Francis Gary Powers, who was shot down while on a spy mission over the Soviet Union. British spy catcher Joe Shapiro is involved in the hunt to track down and incriminate Russian agents known to the west. There is a "... web of lies and deception behind the exchange of spies" and secrets that must not be revealed.

About the Author
Ted Allbeury (1917–2005) was an intelligence officer with Great Britain's Special Operations Executive during World War II; afterward, he ran agents between East and West Germany. Allbeury's firsthand Cold War experiences enliven his espionage novels, and he was praised by the New York Times Book Review as "a most knowledgeable chronicler of espionage " and by Booklist as "a master of the genre."
