Alex Preston and Piers Blofeld I Spy…

Two authors bring us tales of espionage – one biography, and one reimagining of a real, hidden slice of history. A picturesque retirement colony for spies is the setting of Alex Preston’s novel, A Stranger in Corfu. For years, these exiles, either too damaged or too compromised to be allowed to live freely, have tried to make the best of their fate – but then one of their own washes up dead. In Master of Lies, Piers Blofeld reveals the untold story of real-life spy and “Cambridge Five” member Anthony Blunt – who he dubs “the most dangerous spy of the twentieth century” – and the cover up that kept the extent of his treachery under wraps for decades.
