Summary
Duty or honour. Which would you betray?
It's 1966. London is swinging, and the Cold War is spiralling.
Clear-cut lines have faded to grey areas. Whispers of conspiracies are everywhere. Spies on both sides of the Iron Curtain are running in circles, chasing constant plots and counterplots. And MI5 Agent Richard Knox is tired of all of it.
But when Abey Bennett, his CIA comrade in arms, appears in London with a ghost from Knox's past and a terrifying warning that could change the balance of power in the Cold War for good, he has to fight to save the future.
He must also face an agonising choice: who will he believe, and who will he betray - his duty to his country or his loyalty to his friends?

Another automaton narrator of a good story
A good story with great period detail. Main character is well set for a series of books. There were moments of Killing Eve frustration when triggers should have been pulled and strain our credibility.
Once again, the experience is let down by the narrator. His often automaton delivery, weird pacing and outlandish voice for the main character just gets in the way. Do publishers audition readers? There are so many good ones.

Appalling delivery makes the 9 hours drag by...
The narrator is appalling and absolutely ruins what is probably not a bad book. He can't pronounce simple words at times (e.g. "dipole" comes out as "dippul", and the old Ford "Consul" car becomes a Ford "Console" (many times!)). He sounds like an automaton. His voicing of the main character is crazily wrong. The pacing of the delivery is too frequently inapproriate. If I were to record a mickey-take to define all that is worst in recorded book delivery, it couldn't approach how bad was the delivery in this book! I have read that this narrator is something of a tutor in this field of work, and I baulk at thinking how bad the tuition must be!
It was very hard work getting to the end of the book as, by the middle, all I could hear was the voice of this dreadful narrator, and I had to force myself to actually hear the story. I shall certainly not be trying the other Audible book by the author which shares the same narrator.
