All comparisons that will inevitably be made with le Carré are entirely apt\" Tim Glister  'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' Irish Independent  1949: William Catesby returns to London in disgrace, accused of murdering a 'double-dipper' the Americans believed to be one of their own. His left-wing sympathies have him singled out as a traitor.  Henry Bone throws him a lifeline, sending him to Marseille, ostensibly to report on dockers' strikes and keep tabs on the errant wife of a British diplomat. But there's a catch. For his cover story, he's demobbed from the service and tricked out as a writer researching a book on the Resistance.  In Marseille, Catesby is caught in a deadly vice between the CIA and the mafia, who are colluding to fuel the war in Indochina. Swept eastwards to Laos himself, he remains uncertain of the true purpose behind his mission, though he has his suspicions: Bone has murder on his mind, and the target is a former comrade from Catesby's SOE days. The question is, which one.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/

A generation of British spies is haunted by the ghosts of friends turned traitor.   Whitehall spymaster Henry Bone has long held Butterfly to be the Holy Grail of Cold War Intelligence. His brain is an archive of deadly secrets - he can identify each and every traitor spy as well as the serving British agents who helped them.

The British prime minister and the Argentine president are both clinging to power.    Downing Street, having ignored alarm bells coming from the South Atlantic, finds itself in a full-blown crisis when Argentina invades the remote and forgotten British territory of the Falklands Islands.    Catesby is dispatched urgently to prevent Argentina from obtaining more lethal Exocet missiles, by fair means or foul. From Patagonia to Paris, from Chevening to the White House, he plays a deadly game of diplomatic cat and mouse, determined to avert the loss of life.    The clock is ticking. Diplomats and statesmen race for a last-minute settlement while the weapons of war are primed and aimed.    'Absolutely fascinating' Literary Review  'Gets nearer to the truth of what happened in the Falklands War than any of the standard histories. Highly recommended' Clive Ponting  'A classic of the genre . . . as good as espionage thriller writing gets' NB Magazine  'A stunning and ingenious book' Crime Review  Praise for Edward Wilson:  'Stylistically sophisticated . . .

All comparisons that will inevitably be made with le Carré are entirely apt\" Tim Glister  'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' Irish Independent  1949: William Catesby returns to London in disgrace, accused of murdering a 'double-dipper' the Americans believed to be one of their own. His left-wing sympathies have him singled out as a traitor.  Henry Bone throws him a lifeline, sending him to Marseille, ostensibly to report on dockers' strikes and keep tabs on the errant wife of a British diplomat. But there's a catch. For his cover story, he's demobbed from the service and tricked out as a writer researching a book on the Resistance.  In Marseille, Catesby is caught in a deadly vice between the CIA and the mafia, who are colluding to fuel the war in Indochina. Swept eastwards to Laos himself, he remains uncertain of the true purpose behind his mission, though he has his suspicions: Bone has murder on his mind, and the target is a former comrade from Catesby's SOE days. The question is, which one.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51177897165073,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51177899491601,"sku":"NGR9781529429084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51502531150097,"sku":"GOR014305220","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51881402171665,"sku":"GOR014442880","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655360868625,"sku":"NLS9781529429084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52719274295569,"sku":"GOR014596787","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1529429080.jpg?v=1766142320"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/william-catesby-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
