About the Book
Boysie Oakes is back. The suave, womanising special agent for British Intelligence returns in his second thrilling adventure. At the height of the Cold War, Boysie is sent on a routine mission to America. In San Diego, he will be the official British observer for the test-fire of America’s latest nuclear The Trepholite. But the Soviets have other plans. A double of Boysie has been sent into the field. And very soon Boysie is embroiled in a game of bluff and double-bluff involving a holocaustic missile, a slick con man - and Vladimir Solev, an deadly opponent and yet also a man in whom Boysie sees something of himself. Along the way, Boysie is mixed up with two gorgeous women - the sultry Priscilla Braddock Fairchild and the luscious Chicory Triplehouse. As he adventures across the United States, Boysie must dodge bullets, deadly predators and jealous women. And as he arrives in San Diego the clock is ticking and Operation Understrike is under way.
