The Talbot Odyssey

For forty years Western intelligence agents have known a terrible secret: the Russians have a mole – code-named Talbot – inside the CIA. At first Talbot is suspected of killing European agents. Then a street-smart ex-cop uncovers a storm of espionage and murder on the streets of New York, while in a Long Island suburb civic demonstration against the Russian mission masks a desperate duel of nerves and wits. Engineered by Talbot, a shadow world of suspicion and deceit is spilling onto the streets – leading to a new soviet campaign and a first -strike war plan threatening the foundations of American government. For the US, time is running out. For Talbot, the time is now.
