Publisher's summary
Two KGB rivals, General Zarubin and Professor Nikolai Andrievich Panin, confront each other on a point overlooking the British Channel. Meanwhile, Henry Jaggard of British Intelligence has two pressing problems. He knows the Soviets are mounting a defensive program against a Polish dissident group in Britain, but he cannot intervene without jeopardizing his best inside agents. And Dr David Audley, of the Intelligence R&D Department, has been playing clever politics again.
Jaggard sees his opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. The Professor has requested a meeting with Audley, his old adversary, and with one of Jaggard's own men to abet him, Audley can be safely relied upon to overstep the mark in his attempts to frustrate the KGB.

Even in the era of glasnost, a defector is worth having, especially if he is a senior computer specialist in Russian military intelligence. But when the defection goes wrong, the British are left with three bodies and two inadequate clues to the nature of the information they might have been offered, and which now lies buried somewhere in the collective memories of David Audley and his one-time colleague Major Peter Richardson.

Story
An innocent enough advertisement is placed by General Maxwell, retired war hero and beloved squire of Duntisbury Royal, an equally innocent hamlet nestled in the English countryside, but the results are explosive.... Although it seems obvious that the IRA's stars are rising, there's a more global type of conspiracy in the country air. The CIA and the KGB are suddenly sniffing around, along with British Intelligence Chief Dr David Audley - whose intuition for mischief and espionage puts him right in the midst of the action.

24 May 1940: Why did Hitler stop the Panzers and allow the British Army to escape to Dunkirk? Anthony Price provides an answer in this brilliant, compulsively listenable thriller of two young officers pitchforked into the chaos of war. The German advance strands them behind enemy lines, where they witness an extraordinary scene: a high-ranking British officer consorting with Nazis. The possible explanations are shattering, not only for them but for the fate of the whole British Expeditionary Force.

A good Listen
The Publishers Summary is misleading. Without being a spoiler....
There had been a leak of information in a Minister's Dept. 'R and D' found the leak and advised the PM. The Minister is wanting a scalp from 'R and D' because he had not found the leak and has been made a fool in the eyes of the PM.
Meanwhile a secret service dept has a spy in with the Soviets and can not disclose the information they have as it would put their agent in jeapody. A plot is hatched to get 'R and D's' David Audley.
Both high ranking KGB are coming to the UK and Panin has requested a meeting with Audley. Panin has his own game already in motion. Where does Zarubin fit in to the picture?
So this story involves the jealousy between UK Security Services as well as politician's ego and, Spy vs Spy. It gets even more complex as the story is told through the experiences of Tom (Sir Thomas) who is Audley's appointed minder .
It is very well read by Dan Morgan and a good listen.
