The Run Around

A full agent again, Charlie Muffin must thwart an assassination attempt that could turn the tides of the Cold War It may be the most sensational defection of all time. The Russian agent comes straight from KGB headquarters, and he is no desk clerk. He was the head of the Russian cipher section, giving him access to every code, every plot, every secret. And he tells his new British friends that the Russians are planning something diabolical. An assassination is coming—a big one. He just doesn't know who the target is. The only man to head it off is Charlie Muffin. Portly, haggard, and badly dressed, he is nevertheless the cleverest man in English intelligence. And he will have to be clever now, for all he knows is that an important Westerner is marked for death at the hands of Russian spies. And if Charlie isn't careful, he could be the one to die. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
