A Very British Ending

Catesby, Book 5

Bremen, 1951. An MI6 officer, haunted by an SS atrocity, kills a Nazi war criminal in the ruins of a U-boat bunker. The German turns out to be a CIA asset being rat-lined to South America.

Britain, 1947. A young cabinet minister negotiates a deal with Moscow trading Rolls-Royce jet engines for cattle fodder and wood. The fates of the two men become entwined as one rises through MI6 and the other to Downing Street where, in the mid-1970s, a secret plot unfolds on both sides of the Atlantic to overthrow the prime minister.

Can MI6 officers Catesby and Bone prevent it?

Wonderful!

Intelligent characters, writing and the stories ties to real world events makes this a wonderful read. Wish there more books this intelligent available.

Ps & Qs

Best Wilson book so far. Covers quite a bit of not much heard detail, over several fields. Well researched with some very realistic possibilities thrown in for good measure.

Worth reading, but a little weak in the end.

I enjoyed the book. it was a good history lesson. I did think the ending was a little weak.
