Agent in Place

Chuck Kelso is an idealist. When he steals a top-secret NATO memorandum, he only intends to leak it to the press; but it is soon in the hands of a Russian agent, a man who has spent nine years quietly working himself into the fabric of Washington society. Within hours it has reached the KGB, and the CIAâ€™s top man in Moscow has had his cover blown. For British agent Tony Lawton, hunting down the Russian operative â€“ the â€˜agent in placeâ€™ â€“ is a welcome challenge. But for Chuckâ€™s brother, the journalist Tom Kelso, and his beautiful wife, Thea, the affair has unleashed a very special terror.

Now the race is on to find the Russian spy before a top-level NATO conference. But why is the escaped agent behaving so strangely? Is he who he seems?
