Description
As the Cold War intensifies in 1952, CIA agent Blackford Oakes is tasked with a high-stakes mission unlike any other: infiltrate the intimate circle surrounding Britain’s new queen and identify the source of a dangerous leak of Western military secrets to the Soviets. Operating in a world of protocol, suspicion, and shifting loyalties, Oakes must navigate political intrigue while racing against time to prevent further compromise. The novel blends espionage tension with a keen focus on power, secrecy, and the moral strain of intelligence work. With Buckley’s sharp, period-authentic storytelling and brisk command of spycraft, this is a suspenseful tale of infiltration, counterintelligence, and the fragile line between duty and deception.
