RENDEZVOUS AT THE RUSSIAN TEAROOM

Book ID/图书代码： 00200012B56813

English Summary/英文概要： Set in London during the ominous calm that preceded the Blitz, RENDEZVOUS AT THE RUSSIAN TEAROOM is the story of one of the most significant yet littleknown espionage operations of the Second World War. Central to this narrative is Tyler Kent, a debonair young American encryption expert, compulsive womaniser and Soviet spy. Transferred from his country’s Moscow embassy, Kent soon finds himself on a collision course with the man destined to inspire the character of “M” in the James Bond novels: eccentric British spymaster, Maxwell Knight, who has just been promoted to run MI5’s top secret new counter-espionage organisation. Through his job at the United States Embassy, Kent discovers that President Roosevelt is exchanging coded telegrams with Winston Churchill. Kent’s Machiavellian plan to topple Roosevelt entails him passing copies of the telegrams to a Nazi spy-ring, led by his current girlfriend Anna Wolkoff, an elegant Russian émigré working as dressmaker to the Duchess of Windsor. With the final outcome of the war at stake, Knight launches a mission to infiltrate this glamorous circle of conspirators who hold regular meetings in a chic South Kensington restaurant, source of the best caviar in town. Against an atmospheric backdrop of air-raid drills, blacked out streets and speculation about the imminent German assault on Britain, RENDEZVOUS AT THE RUSSIAN TEAROOM unravels a murky story, populated by an idiosyncratic supporting cast.
