About This Book
"The author is very close to the truth. The book has sufficient fact to make some people sit up." — Richard Deacon, author of A History of the British Secret Service.

Kim Philby, the spy who betrayed a generation, has plotted his own death in a fiery helicopter accident. Immediately British Intelligence, the KGB, the CIA and Israeli Intelligence start searching for Philby's "insurance" — a set of documents which point fatally accusing fingers at powerful men in high political, security and academic circles.
In England, a Cambridge don suddenly finds himself inextricably tangled in this web of violence. The rival intelligence services want him dead to prevent him talking, alive for questioning with drugs that will kill him anyway, or available for trading with those who want to kill or question him. To survive he must enlist the help of the sole survivor of the Israeli Intelligence team. And to uncover the devastating truth, he must got to the Lubianka, headquarters of the KGB in Moscow…
REVERSE NEGATIVE is a stunning and convincing story of the "Fourth Man" and of the disgraced darling of the Establishment, Kim Philby, whose treachery to the Western World lives on.
