From the rear cover
It is an unlikely combination of disasters that persuades Alan Trosper, the reluctant hero of William Hood's earlier novels Spy Wednesday and Cry Spy, to take up once again the tools of his craft: A State Department secretary, compromised by pornographic Russian surveillance photographs, is killed in a bizarre Central Park hit; and a former Moscow Center agent, now freelancing for himself, offers to sell evidence of the activities of a highly placed spy. The agent's letter also provides a clue that the security of the Firm itself may have been breached, and three of Trosper's former colleagues have come under suspicion. This compelling and utterly convincing story presents a new twist on the familiar theme of spy and counter-spy, for in place of the monolith of the Soviet Empire, Trosper now confronts an intelligence world fragmented beyond recognition, where agents scramble to attach themselves to new masters, where old allegiances cannot be trusted.
