The landmark first novel by acclaimed Cold War thriller writer Derek Lambert. Derek Lambert's classic spy novel exposes the truth about the life of the Western community in post-Stalin Moscow, and their existence in which tensions and hostility of the Soviet Union sometimes prove intolerable. An American working for the US embassy and the CIA, a young Englishman at the British Embassy gradually cracking under the strain of Moscow life, and a member of the Twilight Brigade. In an alien land their lives become inextricably joined in a vivid and tense story of diplomats, traitors, Soviet secret police and espionage.
