NOCTURNE FOR THE GENERAL

In a Soviet prison camp near Murmansk is an old man, bowed but not broken, identified only by a number. Were his name known his fellow inmates would kill him, for this old man is Stepan Povin, former KGB General, now disgraced but kept alive for the sake of the secret that he has retained through two years of interrogation. His secret is the final link in a chain, the completion of which would make his former masters very happy indeed - a secret which draws British Intelligence ever closer to the camp in the Arctic Circle. For fans of the genre and authors such as John le Carré and Robert Harris, the novel offers great insight into the USSR and we are delighted to have this 2022 reprint of the 1985 original. 378pp, paperback.
