The Twentieth Day of January Summary

The Twentieth Day of January: The Inauguration Day thriller by Ted Allbeury

A spookily prescient espionage thriller from one of the masters of the genre. What if the Soviet Union gained control over the US Presidency?

SIS agent James Mackay fears that this may already be happening when he realises the newly elected president's press secretary is a former communist radical with links to the KGB.

When the witnesses who support his suspicions are systematically eliminated, MacKay must race against time to prove that the President-Elect is not his own man before Inauguration Day and avoid a national catastrophe.

'When I say Ted Allbeury knows where the bodies are buried I mean it literally.' - Len Deighton, author of The Ipcress File.

The Twentieth Day of January Reviews

His novel has seeming prescience, but what actually makes it worth reading are the rounded characters and ingenious plot that never breaks free of plausibility. The very things in fact, that are missing from the saga of President Trump's victory. -- Jake Kerridge * Telegraph *
