Short gift inscription in ink. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: After years of waiting, a British intelligence mole has risen through the ranks to high responsibility in the Kremlin. When it looks as though he is about to be exposed by the KGB, George Parker, the MI6 agent at the Moscow embassy, tries to save him despite London's disinterest. Since the author worked as the BBC's Moscow correspondent (and was himself expelled for spying), one can assume that the background data and characterizations are impeccable. The same cannot be said for the story which, in an attempt to convey the shadowy subtleties and grey intricacies of the espionage demiworld, spends more time baffling than informing the reader. One of those ''clever'' novels in which complex convolution and unnecessary ambiguity of plot supersede its entertainment value.
