About the Author:
Clive Egleton has extensive personal experience in the intelligence and counter-intelligence fields and is widely regarded as one of the finest writers of the espionage thriller in its classic form. His the author of twenty-nine novels, most recently ""One Man Running,"" He lives on the Isle of Wight.
From Booklist:
One of the masters of the espionage genre is back with a thriller set in 1956, just before Eisenhower looks set to win his second term, and Eden and Dulles are crossing swords over the looming Suez crisis. Dulles isn't budging on America's position, so veteran British intelligence agent Charles Winter decides the only option is to play dirty. Recalling Eisenhower's brief fling with British WAC Kay Summersby during the war, Winter figures that if evidence could be found to prove the affair was ongoing, Eisenhower's reelection would be jeopardized, creating the perfect leverage to shift the U.S. on its Middle East position. But since no evidence exists, Winter decides to launch a "black operation" to manufacture some. Despite using one agent who's in disgrace and another with virtually no field experience, Winter's plan seems to be going swimmingly. But disaster soon strikes, with the Russians and the Americans determined to stop the rogue agents, whatever the cost. Egleton's command of the genre, added to a tense plot, authentic-sounding spyspeak, and convincing descriptions of the intelligence world, produces a thoroughly entertaining old-school espionage novel.
