This spy novel is written by Derek Lambert as Richard Falkirk re: Russian trawlers in Iceland
All of Iceland was erupting, and it wasn’t merely the volcano, Heckla, spewing poisonous ash and lava into the air. Anti-American feeling was high and Russian trawlers — which didn’t smell at all of fish — put into secret coves. William Conran, a British agent born in Iceland, has been assigned to investigate a possible Russian spy ring in what seems to be a routine mission. But then a girl is found dead, her clothes torn and lips bruised. The official story was that she had choked to death on her own vomit whilst hopelessly drunk. But why then were the Americans questioning an American airman? And why did they refuse to hand him over to the Icelanders?
Conran picks up a lovely Icelandic air-hostess, Gudrun, only to find that she is involved in more than her healthy appetite for life would indicate. Sigurdson, the police chief, what guilty secret does he have to hide? These and many more other questions are answered in this exciting and gripping spy thriller.
