About this listen

1965. The British Establishment is reeling after a series of defections and acts of treachery by high- ranking intelligence officers. When Francis Hollander, an American academic, accuses Sir James Digby QC, a baronet and leader of the Bar, of being a Soviet spy, Digby retains Ben Schroeder and his head of Chambers to represent him. At first, it seems to be a simple case of libel, but as evidence starts to emerge of Digby's association with the Cambridge spies, and as MI6 becomes involved, Ben can no longer be sure that he can save Digby from prosecution and ruin.

To obtain vital evidence, Ben will have to put his career at risk. But will it be enough?

I really enjoyed the first two books of the series which had many plot twists and was more directly related to the leading character. This book had several long monologues, detailing the history of chess, life as a Cambridge student and the Russian spies in the British secret service. As before, excellent narration. So I’d not rate this as highly as others have.

Different from the first two books

The Ben Schroeder series of books are fascinating particularly if you were around during the period he’s writing about.
Information about major court cases was not available as it is now. What happened in major court cases was to a certain extent a mystery. Barristers were highly regarded professionals who the general public knew little about and were considered “beyond our ken”.
Peter Murphy informs about this part of the legal system with the backdrop of events and issues that prevailed during the fifties and sixties. His characters are appealing and believable. I’ve enjoyed the first three books immensely and intend to continue with the series.
The narration is good, as with many accents can be a bit variable but easy to listen to with no irritating vagaries.

Series is good and developing nicely
