SYNOPSIS |
| Bernard Samson plods through a snow blizzard in Washington DC, and he's not enjoying it. Old pals are not as friendly, colleagues not so confiding as they used to be. Or 30 it seems to him. Things have not gene really well for Bernard Samson since his wife, Fiona, defected three years ago. It was a rejection on several levels, and Samson -tough, cynical and macho -finds rejection difficult to contend with Nnw. after his trip to Washington, his life becomes even more precarious.
Here are the intriguing characters from the Game, Set and Match trilogy. But things have changed in the intervening
three years. The supercilious Dicky Cruyer has undergone a change of style in his endless quest for more promotion. Frank Harrington, passed over for a knighthood, is agonizing over his endangered agents in the East. The irascible 'Auntie' Lisl still reigns over her down-at-heel mansion in Berlin's Ku-Damm, despite a new and desperate crisis that faces her. Bernard's closest friend Werner Volkmann decides to give up his home, his wife, and his lucrative profession out of a sense of duty.
