The Russians in London know Kyril must die. The mole thinks Kyril suspects his identity. Hunted by East and West, only when the last traitor dies will Kyril know who’s won the deadliest game ever played…A classic Cold War espionage mole hunt from ‘the heir-apparent to le Carré’ (Today) lovingly reissued for a new audience with a brand new afterword from the author.
