"Ted Mundy, British soldier's son born 1947 in a shining new independent Pakistan, and Sasha, refugee son of an East German Lutheran pastor, first become friends as students in riot-torn West Berlin of the late Sixties. They meet again in the grimy looking-glass of Cold War espionage and, most terribly, in today's unipolar world of terror, counter-terror and the war of lies."

Cover notes:
"At forty-eight, Tim Cranmer is a secret servant in premature retirement in deepest Somerset. His Cold War is fought and won, and he is free to devote himself to his stately manor house, his vineyard and his beautiful young mistress, Emma. But no man can escape his past, and Tim's past lives twenty miles away, in the chaotic person of Larry Pettifer, bored radical don, philanderer, and for twenty years Tim's mercurial double agent against the now vanished Communist threat. And between the two men stands Emma, and an unresolved rivalry that dates all the way back to their shared boyhood at public school.
Larry disappears. So does Emma. In his pursuit of them, Tim himself becomes the quarry, raiding his own past like a thief as he follows the lovers into the moral minefield of their new allegiances. But as Tim advances across the battered landscape of post-Thatcher England, into the lawless wilds of Moscow and then Southern Russia, we share with him also the dilemma of a dispossessed loyalist of our time, deprived of past and future alike, and grappling with his left-over humanity.
Our Game is a novel of suspense in the great British tradition: now romantic, now tragic, now comic, gripping to the last page and always vastly entertaining."
