Washington Shadow (Peter Cotton)

 

It is September 1945. Bankrupt and desperate, Britain sends John Maynard Keynes to boom town Washington, D.C. to beg for a loan. Under cover of the backup team, agent Peter Cotton is sent to investigate the break-up of America’s wartime intelligence agency. Cotton finds himself caught up in a world of shadows involving an extraordinarily attractive girl from the U.S. State Department; a Soviet ex-tank commander claiming to be his opposite number; a contrarian African academic; an ambitious, quick-tempered boss from the world of misinformation; and an Anglo-American conspiracy that will change the world of postwar intelligence for ever.
