description: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WORLD'S MOST NOTORIOUS MASTER-SPY COMES IN FROM THE RUSSIAN COLD?After years of exile in Russia, Kim Philby has had enough. He wants out. But where can he go? He knows too much to be let loose. Above all, he knows too much about his old accomplices who still operate at the highest levels of the British Establishment, occupying top Whitehall positions. So once he sticks his nose outside his privileged Soviet lair, the old wolf's as good as dead. MI6, the KGB - above all, MI6 - will ruthlessly hunt him down. But Philby is, after all, one of the most skilful agents of all time. So he risks it.Vicious power politics in London and Moscow... murder beside the Black Sea... bloody massacres in the heart of Africa - as Philby makes his break, violent death follows him. And British Intelligence is threatened with the exposure of the greatest infamy in its history...Spy fiction from the same stable as Ian Fleming's James Bond.
