David Marriner is a specialist in arms and armour whose embittered wife is suing him for divorce and fighting for custody of their daughter. ----- In Brussels to set up an exhibition, David meets Svetlana, director of the Kremlin museum-a woman who is everything David's wife is not, and who invites him to Moscow. British Intelligence gets wind of David's situation, and in exchange for their help with the best divorce lawyer in London David agrees to aid a defection from Moscow. When the defection goes disastrously wrong it seems Marriner may have lost everything he cares about-Svetlana, his job, his child, and possibly his freedom. ----- The Kremlin Armoury is a marvellous post-cold war novel of suspense set in the last days of Gorbachev's USSR as politics and espionage invade the most personal aspects of an ordinary man's life and cynical men in Whitehall and Moscow probe the weaknesses of the individuals they are using. And when the players in the game try to avoid the consequences of their actions, to love and to forget, they find there is no escape."----- Like New Condition ....Hard Cover with -----Like New Dust jacket---In New Brodart Dust Jacket Protector--- Price is NOT clipped on DJ Flap....---Not a Remainder----Not ex-library --- From Smoke-Free Environment----- No added writing or underlining of text...
