<p>Charlie Muffin is back at rock bottom. The ex-spy has had a rough few years since British intelligence first turned on him and forced him to go into hiding. He's drinking again, forgetting things-getting soft. He hasn't even noticed the tap on his phone. Though Charlie doesn't know it yet, the walls are closing in again. He takes a job for his only friend, Rupert Willoughby, who sends Charlie to Rome to check the security system for some valuable jewels. Charlie has chosen the wrong time to visit the Eternal City. There's a mole in the British embassy there, and the agents of the East and West are homing in fast. Charlie, unlucky as always, is about to find himself caught between a very solid rock and an equally hard place.</p>

MADRIGAL FOR CHARLIE MUF

Imprisoned for treason, Charlie Muffin hunts for a way out - by crossing a line. After a trumped-up trial, Charlie Muffin lands in jail for treason - ready to learn the secrets of his fellow inmate, a convicted British traitor. Nobody expected KGB agents to stage a prison break to free their man. Charlie faces another choice: go to Moscow to complete his assignment or face 40 long years in prison. It doesn't take him long to decide. Charlie doesn't have the full picture, of course, which is the way of espionage. But Charlie doesn't regret his Iron Curtain escape, as it leads him to Natalia Fedova, the KGB interrogator assigned to determine if his defection is genuine or staged. For anyone else, the risk would be suicidal. But for Charlie, the greatest danger may be falling in love.

BLIND RUN

CHARLIE MUFFIN

Charlie Muffin is an oddity - an over-tired, over-drawn, over-hung, middle-aged anachronism.  To himself, a survivor.  To others, an irritant.  To the army colonel, Charlie, with his crumpled suits and leaking shoes, is the final inherited embarrassment from a disgraced department he is committed to revitalise.  Who better, then, to sacrifice in the capture of a KGB general who is masterminding the Soviet Union's European spy net from behind the counter of his London wine importers business?  So upon one man settle the hopes of East and West. All Charlie hopes to do is survive.  On his own terms, of course.
