The Man from Moscow (Commander Shaw Book 4)

The latest cloak-and-dagger adventure with Commander Shaw as he takes an unofficial visit behind the Iron Curtain.

When British agent Esmonde Shaw learns that a group of Russian extremists are planning a coup d’état against the Russian government, the connection to British interests seems tenuous at best. But it is not only the Kremlin that is under threat — the terrorists, Shaw learns, are also planning to launch an attack against Britain. They will strike while the Foreign Ministers’ Conference is in session — and the attack will be made to look like an accident.

With less than two weeks to go before the Conference, Shaw will have to travel undercover to the Soviet Union on what will be his most dangerous mission yet. But it soon turns out that much more is at stake with the discovery of a plot to set off a deadly nuclear under-water earthquake — an earthquake that will obliterate England. Will Commander Shaw be able to thwart the deadly plan before it is too late?

The Man from Moscow is another hair-raising instalment of Philip McCutchan’s Commander Shaw series, set against the backdrop of the Cold War. Packed with political intrigue and espionage, this thrilling saga will have you hooked until the very last page.

Philip McCutchan grew up in the naval atmosphere of Portsmouth Dockyard and developed a lifetime's interest in the sea. Military history was an early interest of his, resulting in several fiction books about the British Army and its campaigns, especially in the last 150 years. He served throughout WWII in a variety of ships, including the cruiser Vindictive, the ocean boarding vessel Largs, and the escort carrier Ravager, ending the war as a lieutenant, RNVR. He is also the author of the Tom Chatto Naval Adventures series, published by Endeavour Media.
