Charlie Muffin Series / Charlie Muffin San / Brian Freemantle

Back in the service of British intelligence, Charlie’s Japanese assignment could be his last. He wasn’t strong, fast or charming, but he knew how to survive. When his agency branded him a traitor, he escaped their persecution for years. Finally, after proving his innocence, he is reinstated. But only just. When he is relegated to a monotonous desk job, it takes months before Charlie gets a real assignment. A KGB agent in Tokyo wants to defect to the other side. Charlie’s job is to convict him. But as Charlie has learned in all his years of evasion, running away is never easy or safe.
