Manhunt

There’s a mole in the British secret service. A senior SIS officer is passing secrets to the Russians. With the security of Britain’s most secret computer system as stake, the intelligence agencies are racing against time to root out the traitor. But conventional detective work is too slow. An alternative strategy has to be formulated and a deception operation is set in motion to flush out the mole. Paul Richter, an unemployed ex-Naval aviator, is the unwitting and ultimately expendable bait in the trap. But as the net closes around the traitor in France, a female Russian intelligence officer flees Moscow, seeking asylum from her British counterparts. The evidence she brings points the finger of suspicion in a very different direction. Richter soon finds himself battling against both the British security establishment and trained teams of Russian assassins with orders to kill both him and the woman he’s trying to protect. With time running out and nobody above suspicion in the 'wilderness of mirrors' that is the world of intelligence, can Richter get the most sought after asset in the spy world back to England in one piece…? Or will the 'Manhunt' end in his own death?
