The Seeds of Treason
by Ted Allbeury"Intricate and compelling … Ted Allbeury is one of the most skilled wordsmiths we've got, ranking with le Carré, Deighton, Forsyth, and Gardner." — The Gloucester Citizen, U.K. "Ted Allbeury is one of our best spy writers, quiet, thoughtful, and menacingly compelling." — The Birmingham Post, U.K."Absorbing and sturdily crafted." — The Literary ReviewA gripping tale of love and treachery, this novel by a former British intelligence officer explores the reasons why men and women betray their countries and each other. The cast includes Jan Massey, Head of British Intelligence in Berlin and a passionate anti-Communist who falls in love with the wife of a KGB officer; Arthur Johnson, a lowly signalman in the Berlin office who dreams of money and power; civil servant Eric Mayhew, stung by an unjust act of authority; and mathematician Jimbo Vick, lured into betrayal by a seductive Soviet agent. Although they operate under different motivations and circumstances, their roles in the intelligence community will connect them as they frantically attempt to evade a day of reckoning."No one twitches the strings more expertly than Allbeury," noted The Observer, and indeed, Ted Allbeury's experience as a Cold War–era spy adds a thrilling realism to this story of the egotism, passion, and desperation that underlie acts of treason.

Could somebody have strapped Gledwyn's body into the car and then run away? If Gledwyn had driven the car, why would he have chosen a road with a traffic signal he couldn't read? Gledwyn was color blind, and the site of the accident had a red-green signal, rather than the red-amber-green signal that color blind people can follow. Angela is determined to stay at Viewlands, her father's home, until she finds the answers, while Phil is equally determined that Angela should shut up the large house and return to London. When Phil asks Detective-Sergeant Harry Kyle to look in on Angela, he assumes that Harry will reassure Angela and send her home.
