Lion's Run: A NovelThe upper echelon of British Intelligence has just collapsed. Director-General Sir Kenneth Aubrey has been charged with treason. It seems a ludicrous mistake, until the damming evidence piles up: a videotape shows Aubrey begging the KGB for asylum and a top-secret Moscow file called Teardrop reveals a long-hidden history of Aubrey's treachery dating from 1946. Aubrey's survival depends on the only man who believes in his innocence: Patrick Hyde, his aide and bodyguard. |
