4.0 out of 5 stars A female Brit spy must get to the bottom of a baffling case., September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Avenue of the Dead (Hardcover)

Davina Graham is still mourning the death of her great love, Ivan Sasanov, who died in a government-related car-bomb. Davina blames the British government (for whom she and her Russian defector husband worked as spies) for not protecting them, but knows she must get on with her life. Oppurtunity knocks on her door in the form of her former commander, James White. Mr White has a case for her which involves the wife of one Ian Fleming who happens to be a close personal friend to the U.S. president. Mrs Fleming claims her husband threatened her and when Davina reluctantly comes to investigate she discovers a web of spys, agents, double-agents and the like more intricate than she would've ever imagined. With the help of her colleague, Colin Lomax (to whom she subsequently takes a likng) the bottom of the whole saga is reched. A greatly riveting spy thriller, with many wonderful (yet not detracting) side-streams and many unexpected turns in this river of great writing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good sequel to THE DEFECTOR, June 21, 2006

This review is from: The Avenue of the Dead (Audio Cassette)

Grief-stricken and embittered after the assassination of Ivan Sasanov, Davina Graham had steadfastly refused to return to the Service. Until now...
In Washington, the British wife of one of the President's closest confidants, Edward Fleming, claims that her husband is trying to kill her because she discovered he is a Soviet spy. Is Elizabeth Fleming just an hysterical alcoholic or is she really in fear for her life?
Once again, Davina Graham is drawn into a treacherous web of danger, deceit and doomed love in this thriller of passion and political intrigue that ends in an unorthodox climax.
A good spy story set during the cold war and excellently read by Carolyn Pickles.
