Old Flames by John Lawton
In April 1956, at the height of the Cold War, Khrushchev and Bulganin, leaders of the Soviet Union, are in Britain on an official visit. Chief Inspector Troy of Scotland Yard is assigned to be Khrushchev's bodyguard and to spy on him. Soon after, a Royal Navy diver is found dead and mutilated beyond recognition in Portsmouth Harbor. Troy embarks on an investigation that takes him to the rotten heart of MI6, to the distant days of his childhood, and into the dangerous arms of an old flame. Brilliantly evoking the intrigue of the Cold War and 1950's London, Old Flames is a thrilling adventure of intrigue and suspense.Second Violin, Flesh Wounds, and Bluffing Churchill are only a few of John Lawton's 10 works. His thriller Black Out earned a WH Smith Fresh Talent Award, his novel A Little White Death was called a New York Times notable book, and his most recent novel A Lily of the Field was rated one of the greatest thrillers of the year by The New York Times' Marilyn Stasio. He resides in the English county of Derbyshire.
