Say "gesundheit" to the spy who came in from the cold & get set for the intrigue novel to end all.

"Combines ironic wit with suspense to remarkable effect."--John Le Carre

Here is a spy-tangled novel of undercover misadventure that goes from Paris to Venice by ways of intrigue that 007 never dreamed of--with semi-professional killers, submissive subversives & a swinging Mata Hari from Hunter College. This is upmanship espionage at its funniest--& all in The Game of X.
