Description

April 1976. Catesby is summoned to Downing Street and it looks like his past has finally caught up with him. Centred on the plot to remove Harold Wilson from power, the Secret State and its use of disinformation, harassment, surveillance and media manipulation, the action swings from 1940s Russia, USA and Korea to 1950s and 60s England, diving into the louche worlds of Fitzrovia, Bohemian Soho and anything-goes country house parties. Exposing CIA activities in Britain, the CCF and the CIA's relationship with Peter Wright and other rogue members of the UK security services, and taking the reader to an action-packed execution in the ghostly ruins of a U-boat bunker on the banks of the Wester and the massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane, this is classic Edward Wilson, back on familiar territory and determined to unveil the secret Britain of private armies, orgies and rumours of coup, and the sinister plots at the heart of international espionage. A stunning conclusion to the Catesby spy series, A Very British Ending is as insightful and explosive as it is utterly unputdownable.
