James Tristram is an aging secret operative, soft of body but sharp of mind. Sent by English spymaster Cornish to aid an uprising against the Polish government and its Russian sponsors, Tristram discovers the mission is a ploy.
The real plot, concocted by Russian Stalinists with the aid of a long-time mole in the British secret service, aims to discredit the government of the Gorbachev-like general secretary of the Russian Communist Party.
Appalled, Tristram sets out on a lonely effort to prevent the destruction of the Polish underground and the discrediting of the reformers.
An espionage thriller full of intrigue and suspense, from an expert on the period, perfect for fans of Rory Clements, John le Carré and James Patterson.
'Crisp and taut' The Times
'A gripping literate thriller' Publishers Weekly
'Set to rival John le Carré... this is a political thriller with real immediacy: meaty and gripping, a frightening book, full of atmosphere' Good Housekeeping

Tim Sebastian is a television journalist and novelist. He is the moderator of Conflict Zone and The New Arab Debates, broadcast on Deutsche Welle TV, Berlin, and a former BBC Correspondent in Moscow, Washington and Warsaw. He won Britain's prestigious Royal Television Society Interviewer of the Year award in 2000 and 2001. Memorable interviews with world leaders have included US Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, South African Presidents Thabo Mbeki and FW de Klerk, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and the last leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev. Tim is the author of nine previous novels including The Spy in Question which the Washington Post in 1988 said "is so modern as to undermine the very assumptions of the espionage thriller." He is also the author of two works of non-fiction.
