Pack of Lies

by Hugh Whitemore

The Jacksons are a nice middle aged English couple. Their best friends are their Canadian neighbours, the Krogers. All is blissful in their world until a detective from Scotland Yard asks to use their house as an observation station in an attempt to foil a Soviet spy ring operating in the area. The Jacksons become more and more put out as Scotland Yard’s demands on them increase. They are really put to the test when the detective reveals that the spies are the Krogers and he asks them to help set a trap. Should they betray their friends?

Actual events during the Cold War inspired this gripping thriller that takes place in a suburb of London during the autumn and winter of 1960-1961.
