He claims to have details of a British double agent recruited by the Russians in Germany in 1945.
Knowing he’s the chief suspect and now on the run from both MI6 and the KGB, Paul Dark heads toward Africa to find, confront, and, if necessary, kill the only woman he has ever loved, whom he has thought dead for the past twenty-four years. “Free Agent” is the spectacular story of one man’s fight for survival and search for the truth about his father’s death and his lover’s betrayal.
