Book excerpt: 'Another Forsyth thriller that has you by the throat with plots so finely crafted as to make the cold war's very darkness visible' Daily Mail ________ Sam McCready is The Deceiver, one of the Secret Intelligence Service's most unorthodox and most valued operatives, a legend in his own time. The end of the cold war has, however, strengthened the hand of the Whitehall mandarins, to whom he seems about as controllable as Genghis Khan, so Sam is to have his fate decided at a special hearing. As part of the proceedings, four of Sam's key operations are reviewed: a clandestine mission into East Germany in 1985 to contact the top Russian spy General Pankratin; the second involving a KGB colonel who wants to defect - but is he genuine? An audacious Gaddafi-inspired plot to ship arms to the IRA; and the fourth when McCready presided over the aftermath of political murder and mayhem in the Caribbean. ________ Former RAF pilot and investigative journalist, Frederick Forsyth defined the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of the Jackal, described by Lee Child as 'the book that broke the mould.' What readers are saying: ***** 'Forsyth never lets you down. Always well researched, always gripping.' ***** 'Forsyth is the best storyteller . . . you feel that he is letting you in on secrets and that you are really there where the action is.' ***** 'Superb story and so topical. Once again Fredrick Forsyth demonstrates his mastery of suspense and mystery.'
