Charlie Muffin (1979)

Charlie Muffin, Britain’s top intelligence agent, has just dismantled a major Soviet spy ring on English soil. But a new Director arrives with fresh priorities and wants Charlie gone. Then a senior Soviet spymaster signals he wants to defect—and both British Intelligence and the CIA are determined to claim him, whatever the cost. Charlie may be the only one capable of pulling off the defection, yet he can’t shake the suspicion that it’s all an elaborate trap. With supposed allies betraying one another and him to secure the prize, who on either side can Charlie truly trust?
