A member of the British Foreign Office, working in conjunction with the Americans, has disappeared with one million of their dollars. Besides being an embarrashment, the money has to be recovered before it can be used by the other side.
Dive into a Cold War thriller with John Rossiter's "The Deadly Green," a gripping tale of espionage and intrigue published in 1970 by Cassell. This First Edition hardcover plunges you into a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal lurks around every corner. A high-ranking member of the British Foreign Office, operating in close collaboration with American intelligence, has vanished. But his disappearance isn't the only problem: he's taken with him a staggering one million dollars. In the tense atmosphere of the Cold War, this is more than just a financial loss; it's a potential geopolitical disaster. The missing agent, and the stolen money, represents a major embarrassment for both the British and American governments. The immediate priority is to recover the money before it falls into enemy hands, where it could be used to fund covert operations and destabilize the fragile balance of power. Every hour counts as intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic scramble to track him down. Rossiter masterfully weaves a narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. With 198 pages of suspense, "The Deadly Green" explores the moral ambiguities of espionage, the high stakes of international politics, and the personal toll on those caught in the crossfire. Expect twists and turns as the hunt intensifies, and the true motivations of the players become increasingly unclear.
