This electrifying debut from Jeremy Duns launches a trilogy of Cold War spy thrillers. It's 1969, and a KGB colonel has just entered the British High Commission in Nigeria and asked to defect. For MI6 agent Paul Dark, it's a promising opportunity. But Dark soon finds himself in trouble and on the run. "A wholly engrossing and sophisticated spy novel set against a forgotten corner of 20th-century history."-William Boyd, Booker and Whitbread Prize winner
