End Game

John Vincent, Washington correspondent of the Daily Standard, is in London to see his family when his daughter Henrietta gets abducted. The kidnappers want the diaries of his late father Sir Roger Vincent, once head of MI6. The diaries hold information about the defected Russian secret service colonel Oleg Krasov, who knows devastating facts about the Russian President Nikolaij Ivanovitch Rubatschov and the American CIA Director Henry Snyder. There's only one problem: John Vincent hasn't got the diaries. Pretty Christine March, his young and fearless col-league at the Daily Standard, helps him in the des-perate search for Henrietta. Equally determined is his beautiful mistress Roberta Rawlins, a glamorous Washington socialite who is following an unexpected trail into upstate New York. This unusual thriller covers decades, culminating in Fleet Street's media mile of today. It has its climax in a remote farmhouse in Wales.
