Moscow Exile
John Lawton
In Moscow Exile,
John Lawton departs from his usual stomping grounds of England and
Germany to jump across the Atlantic to Washington, D.C., in the fragile
postwar period where the Red Scare is growing noisier every day.
Charlotte
is a British expatriate who has recently settled in the nation’s
capital with her second husband, a man who looks intriguingly like Clark
Gable, but her enviable dinner parties and soirées aren’t the only
things she is planning. Meanwhile, Charlie Leigh-Hunt has been posted to
Washington as a replacement for Guy Burgess, last seen disappearing
around the corner and into the Soviet Union. Charlie is soon shocked to
cross paths with Charlotte, an old flame of his, who, thanks to all her
gossipy parties, has a packed pocketbook full of secrets she is eager to
share. Two decades or so later, in 1969, Joe Wilderness is stuck on the
wrong side of the Iron Curtain, held captive by the KGB, a chip in a
game way above his pay grade—but his old friends Frank and Eddie are
going to try to spring him out of the toughest prison in the world. All
roads lead back to Berlin, and to the famous Bridge of Spies…
Featuring
crackling dialogue, brilliantly plotted Cold War intrigue, and the
return of beloved characters, including Inspector Troy, Moscow Exile is
a gripping thriller populated by larger-than-life personalities in a
Cold War plot that feels strangely in tune with our present.
