Publisher's summary

Julian Raines was one of the first Englishmen to volunteer for the international brigade in Spain. The British Secret Service suspect that the flamboyant Raines was recruited for the KGB by the Bolsheviks during his student days at Oxford and send Robert Florry, a struggling young writer to Spain after Raines with orders to eliminate him. Florry was an old school chum to Raines and had every reason to hate him.

The British are not alone on Raines' trail. The ruthless Communist leader in Barcelona believes that the identity of the double agent conceals a powerful and profitable secret.... This is a novel that constantly surprises. (Originally published as The Spanish Gambit.)

Not my cup of tea!

DNF. I've started this book a couple of times. Seems a little slow for Stephen Hunter. British accented narrator which is never my favorite. I have to give this one a no-go.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
