He was recruited in Hamburg in June 1943, much against his will, and sent on his first, and only, mission in late September that year. He failed to send a single report back to Germany, and when the War came to an end in May 1945, he fell to his knees and wept with relief.From a highly reluctant German spy who is drawn to an East Anglian nunnery as his only means of escape, to the strange tale of one of the Cambridge spy ring's adventures with a Russian dwarf, these are Alexander McCall Smith's intriguing and typically inventive stories from the world of espionage.'Spy-masterful storytelling' Sunday Post'Delightfully old-fashioned and prudent of prose, McCall Smith unspools his tales' Daily Mail'[Adds] another treasure to McCall Smith's already glittering library' New York Journal of BooksLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 126mmItem Width: 22mmAuthor: Alexander McCall SmithGenre: FictionTopic: Crime Thrillers & Mystery, Law & PoliticsItem Weight: 200gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
