Immediately the suspicion arises that he may have defected, and the head of Italian security is also interested in his arrival, particularly as it has flushed from cover a rogue communist.

Dr. David Audley, historian and spy, worries British Intelligence when he travels to Italy without telling anyone. Some are concerned he might be defecting. But the trip is in service of a plot involving the KGB and misinformation about North Sea oil reserves. There's also been a kidnapping. Italian state security is interested.
Anthony Price's espionage stories are more intellectual than most, and well-plotted.

SEL was an avid fan of Price's work. Somewhere there is a letter from Price to SEL.
