Publisher Description

The old spy in "An Old Spy Story" is octagenerian, Oliver ("Ollie") Thomas. During a long career spent trying to earn an honest living with his own export business, Ollie was also, reluctantly, carrying out parallel assignments in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere only loosely connected to British Intelligence. But, by using threats and blackmail, his controller, Major Alex Donaldson, was forcing Ollie to help run his own secret money making schemes that included arms shipments to the IRA through Gadaffi and Libya, money laundering in Africa and assassination. Now aged eighty six, recently widowed and alone Ollie still struggles with guilt and anger over his past and decides to make one last attempt to track down and deal with Donaldson.
REVIEWS:
"....I loved this plot.....international trade, bribery, corruption and the murky workings of British Intelligence. The depiction of the may fixers and middle men ring so true, as do the dubious business practices. Gritty descriptions of far flung cities and their low budget hotels....easy reading."
"..A wonderful and moving love story from an elderly man's perspective is beautifully woven into it and the ending is masterful..."
"...I enjoyed it, exciting, endlesly beguiling and fun...."
"…This is no ordinary spy story. If you only read the chapter on Sarah you'll know why."
"....a masterful tale by someone who knows exactly what he is writing about...."
"…thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. A remarkable book….."
