Istanbul, 1968
In the Middle East, the undercurrents between the two powers on either side of the Iron Curtain have become issues in which their agents fight with any weapon, and the score is not kept.
It is a part of the world where political intrigues and subterfuges bubble to the surface, threatening to erupt at any moment.
The battle between East and West is never-ending, and favour is currently in the Soviets’ corner.
Along with his colleagues, it is British Agent Stephen Fletcher’s job to swing the pendulum back to the Western corner.
And to do so he must follow his opponents across the chessboard of the Middle East in a race to outwit a deadly foe…
The Chessboard Spies is the third classic Cold War mystery in the Stephen Fletcher espionage thrillers series by Geoffrey Davison.
