Ten years ago, Edward Mills was not a dangerous man. That was before he served a harsh jail sentence for stealing $1 million worth of bonds intended for a defecting Russian scientist. Mills was framed, and now that he's due for release, he wants to know the truth.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Former SIS agent Edward Mills led the effort a decade ago to help a well-known Russian scientist defect to England. Unfortunately, the operation went sour, the scientist disappeared, two of Mills' fellow agents were killed, and a million pounds in bearer bonds went missing. Mills was blamed for the fiasco, and the government convicted him of fraud, since the missing bearer bonds were last seen in his possession. After 10 years, he's finally released from prison. His old bosses at Subversive Warfare don't want to know him, it's clear he's being followed, and his former friends have slammed their doors in his face. Mills is determined to prove his innocence--but can he do it before MI5, the Department of Subversive Warfare, or rogue agents silence him? Egleton is a skilled hand at old-school espionage, and he shows his stuff here: high-octane plot, taut pacing, and all the twists and turns that one expects from a suspense-driven spy story.
