One lie put the nation at risk. Another might save it.
"I wanted more" DAVID GILMAN
Harry Bristow: policeman, father, chauffeur, fraud.
In 1988 Harry made one mistake: he took a bribe, letting a man he knew as Igor into Britain - and he"s regretted it ever since. So when he recognises Igor many years later as his newly-elected MP, he knows he has to come clean. But the MP recognises him too - and Harry fears what he might do next.
Peter Robinson, MP: salesman, politician, bachelor, spy.
It was easy to get into Britain in 1988 as an illegal, working deep undercover, but the break-up of the Soviet Union cut Robinson off from his homeland. He"s inching closer to Britain"s levers of power - but now the one man who knows his secret has reappeared. With no way to contact Moscow, he must act fast to preserve his position and reap its rewards - at any cost.
Manon Tyler, CIA analyst, has just boarded a plane to London - with a report on Russian illegals to read.
"Intriguing and very cleverly-plotted" ALEX GERLIS
"The Devil"s Bargain races along at breakneck speed. Packed with insider information, this is not one to miss" M. W. CRAVEN
PRAISE FOR STELLA RIMINGTON:
"Damn good" Daily Telegraph
"A must-read for fans of contemporary spy fiction" Publishers Weekly
"This is something rare: the spy novel that prizes authenticity over fabrication, that is true to the character and spirit of intelligence work" Mail on Sunday
