Synopsis

It might be the most casual of hints at a cocktail party, or a hastily scribbled note on the back of an envelope - however it starts, defection is a dangerous and often deadly choice. Traitor for a Cause is a case study in defection, betrayal and counter-espionage. Through the 'coming across' of Nicolai Galov, his confessions and his betrayals, Markstein effects a chilling and all-too-real portrait of the undercover world, a world in which East and West are locked in deadly battle. AUTHBIO: With his background both as a military correspondent during the Cold War and as a crime reporter in Fleet Street, George Markstein was perfectly placed to write spy thrillers. His first book, The Cooler, sold over two hundred thousand copies and all his subsequent books were extremely popular and well received. On one occasion he departed from espionage fiction to write a historical novel, Tara Kane.
