Spy Tapestry

Lewes, East Sussex: The Book Guild, 2001. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 778 pages. There are rich pickings for spies in post-war Germany, and maverick intelligence officer Johnny Marlowe is determined to bring in as much information as he can for the elite group within MI6 that he works for. Johnny's methods are unorthodox, but they work. His experience tells him that women make the best agents, so he slowly gathers together a group of attractive and intelligent German girls, whom he places in positions where they can collect the cream of information without arousing suspicions. And Johnny keeps them supplied with what they need most: food, work, sex and security. Very early on he realises that his targets are Russians as well as Germans, and with the help of his talented team of ladies, he is soon on the trail of undercover Nazis, Russian double-agents, and cross-border runners. With an element of fun as well as danger, the spy game for Jonny's 'joes' is full of surprises. **** NOT EX LIB **** A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.47 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 24.
