<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author of the "New York Times" Notable Book "Typhoon" comes his most accomplished and compelling thriller yet--the story of the search for the mysterious, long-rumored sixth man of the Cambridge Spy Ring.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A <i>Washington Post</i> Notable Fiction Book for 2011<br></b><br><b>The most closely-guarded secret of the Cold War is about to be exposed - the identity of a SIXTH member of the infamous Cambridge spy ring. And people are killing for it... </b> <p/>London, 1992. Late one night, Edward Crane, 76, is declared dead at a London hospital. An obituary describes him only as a 'resourceful career diplomat'. But Crane was much more than that - and the circumstances surrounding his death are far from what they seem. <p/>Fifteen years later, academic Sam Gaddis needs money. When a journalist friend asks for his help researching a possible sixth member of the notorious Trinity spy ring, Gaddis knows that she's onto a story that could turn his fortunes around. But within hours the journalist is dead, apparently from a heart attack. <p/>Taking over her investigation, Gaddis trails a man who claims to know the truth about Edward Crane. Europe still echoes with decades of deadly disinformation on both sides of the Iron Curtain. And as Gaddis follows a series of leads across the continent, he approaches a shocking revelation - one which will rock the foundations of politics from London to Moscow... <p/>Cumming's novel is characterized by a gripping sense of realism. He displays a vast knowledge of spycraft and Cold War history, and the dense, three-dimensional world he crafts comes complete with seedy hotels and smoky nightclubs. The result is absolutely gripping. Taut, atmospheric and immersive--an instant classic. - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review) on <i>The Trinity Six</i> <p/><i>The Trinity Six</i> is a Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 Thrillers title.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>CHARLES CUMMING is the author of the international bestselling thrillers <i>A Spy By Nature, The Spanish Game, </i>and <i>Typhoon. </i>A former British Secret Service recruit, he is a contributing editor of <i>The Week </i>magazine and currently lives in London.</p>
