The book's 3 main characters - Joe, Nell and Troy - are finally together in the same city where Red Army tanks line the streets and the KGB and Czech secret police are everywhere. Troy's feisty wife Anna and the equally gutsy Janis Bell - MI6's station head in Prague are doing their damndest to cause a major diplomatic incident.
Matters come to a head and the story comes full circle when Joe is faced with a difficult decision to make.
This is a gripping story of double dealing and betrayal at the heart of Cold War politics. Along the way, there's some sly humour as the author references spy novelists Len Deighton and Ian Fleming and to the James Bond and Third Man films. A worthy addition to the Joe Wilderness series which will keep author John Lawton's fans very happy.
