DECEIVER, THE - 4 TAPES

Sam McCready has served with distinction for seven years as chief of the covert operations desk of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service. But times have changed. A high-level policy decision demands that the SIS strip away its old-style operatives, and the first to be targeted for retirement is the freewheeling McCready. Sharp-minded, McCready is a maverick whose independent style has often driven him beyond the rules. Presented to a panel of his peers, McCready’s exploits may be dazzling evidence of his value - or damning proof that he must be put aside. Presiding over this long-shot effort by a great spymaster to save his career will be Timothy Edwards, McCready’s most determined foe - and in the balance hangs the future of Britain’s secret intelligence operations. 'The Deceiver' is a provocative study of the changing face of espionage from the Cold War to the Gulf War, rich in the deft detail and unparalleled insight only Frederick Forsyth, master of intrigue, can deliver. Other Frederick Forsyth titles available from HarperCollinsAudioBooks are 'The Negotiator' and 'The Fist of God'.
