About the Author:
Charles Thoroughgood is in training for M16. He's learning about spy craft, how to handle agents and de-code secret messages, how to spot enemy surveillance and set up clandestine meetings. None of this prepares him for an unexpected inheritance left to him by his dead father, the implications of which are much darker than first expected. This legacy leads him back to an old student friendship with Viktoe, a Russian diplomat working in London and sets him on a trail deep into the murky world of Soviet espionage and the nuclear tensions of the cold war.
Legacy is a triumphant return to fiction for Alan Judd. His last novel, The Devil's Own Work – a chilling Fordian fable – was admired widely when published and went on to win the Guardian fiction prize. Legacy picks up the themes of Judd's earlier spy novels in that it is a book rooted in real experience which, through great storytelling and intricate characterisation, reflects the shifting loyalties, inherent absurdity, and potential for treachery so central to the world of espionage.
Alan Judd began writing while in the Foreign Office. His biography of Ford Madox Ford won the Royal Society of Literature’s Heinemann Award. He recently published a biography of Mansfield Cumming, founder of Great Britain’s modern Secret Service. Judd writes regularly for the Daily Telegraph in London.
