Roger Croft’s ‘The Wayward Spy’ is an intriguing tale of espionage that celebrates the spy genre.
.
Lovers of the spy novel genre will find themselves entirely caught up in the fast-paced adventure of Roger Croft’s The Wayward Spy. Set
in 1992, the events of the novel take readers back in time to
experience the fascinating tale of Michael Vaux and his adventures.
Michael
Vaux, a veteran news reporter, had every intention of retiring early.
However, those plans were waylaid by greater powers when the British
Secret Service uncovers his youthful friendship with Ahmed Kadri, who,
unfortunately for Michael, is now Syria’s chief armaments buyer. His
retirement put on hold, Michael is tossed into a world of intrigue and
upheaval. He agrees to a one-off deal with M16, who is convinced that
Syria is poised to sign a multi-billion arms deal with Russia that might
upset the precarious balance of power in the volatile Middle East.
Michael
disappears mysteriously during the Geneva Middle East Conference,
during which Russia is secretly working out negotiations with Syria, and
reappears later, photocopies of the arms deal in hand. While his
bosses at M16 couldn’t be happier, the CIA steps in, certain that
Michael’s version is false and the evidence a deliberate deception on
Syria’s part. Michael is dispatched to Tangier, where his old friend
Kadri has sought self-exile after a surprise coup by President Al Assad
Shia’s supporters. Thrown back into the fray, Michael must now obtain
critical intelligence and defense data from his old friend. The outcome
of his trip shocks M16 as much as it shocks Michael.
A
classic spy novel with a unique twist, readers will be furiously
turning pages until they reach the stunning conclusion of Croft’s newest
spy thriller.
