About this listen

Back at work for British intelligence, Charlie’s Japanese assignment might just be his last....

Charlie Muffin was once the toughest agent in British intelligence. He wasn’t strong, fast, or charming, but he knew how to survive. When his agency branded him a traitor, he eluded their pursuit for years. After eventually proving his innocence, he’s invited back into The Firm. But only just.

Consigned to a monotonous desk job, it takes months for Charlie to get a real assignment. A KGB agent in Tokyo wants to defect to the other side. Charlie’s role is to bring him across. But as Charlie has learned from all those evasive years, there’s never anything simple or safe about running away.

Another fast-moving, edge of your seat outing for Charlie Muffin. Thank goodness he's discovered trainers at last - he might finally get some relief from his sore feet!

How does Charlie do it? Superspy!!

One of the best books in the series so far, with great narration. Complex and conjunctive in true spy-craft novel style that might make Le Carre proud. Everyone plays chopsticks whilst quick stepping through eachother's plots; no one plays nice, not even those on Charlie's side. VERY ENJOYABLE

Never Underestimate the Inquisition

The best in the series with Charlie’s skills shining through. Must get the next one ASAP

Best so far

This was a free listen and was quite good. I shall try the rest of the free ones and see how they are.

Downtrodden Charlie is back in the field again. Pretty much everyone is out to get him and Charlie has the feeling that everything isn’t as it seems with this new mission and his feet hurt. If you’re going after Charlie Muffin, you’d better make sure he doesn’t see you coming.

A good old fashioned spy novel.
