About This Book

Charged with espionage—and bigamy to boot—John Ryder didn't have a prayer of a defense. His trial was beginning the next morning in the Old Bailey when his desperate barrister turned to Antony Maitland. Ryder swore that he had never laid eyes on the defecting KGB agent who claimed Ryder passed him state secrets… or on the London woman who tearfully described him as her long-lost husband. Maitland guessed at the truth. But the deadly proof lay in the dark world of spies… and in what someone thought was a little white lie.
