From Booklist
Davina Graham's always been "the plain but clever one" in her family. But that cleverness has helped her make a rapid ascent up the career ladder in the British SIS. Her latest assignment is debriefing Russian defector Ivan Sasanov, who has left his family behind in the still-oppressive Soviet Union of the late 1990s. When Sasanov is targeted for assassination by the Soviets, his wife arrested, and his daughter seduced by a KGB officer, he threatens to renege on his defection unless the SIS can rescue his family. Though she's never been a field agent, Davina offers to go to Russia and extract Sasanov's wife and daughter. What she doesn't count on is falling in love with him. Only after she's within Russia's borders does she learn that someone in the SIS is working for the Soviets, someone who knows every detail of the Sasanov rescue operation and plans to betray Davina to the KGB. A grand master of the espionage thriller, Anthony once again offers up a riveting read. Emily Melton

Betrayal,
By
This review is from: Betrayal (Hardcover)
This is a great book of espinoage, the romance that blooms between Davina and the Russian KGB agent is engaging to watch. Although not a field agent Dvina undertakes to help secure the release of the Russian's family and suffers because of it. Much harder to understand is the distance between Davina and her father. However, buyers should be aware that this book was published under the name "The Defctor" in 1981.
