If you are an espionage cognoscente you should find Dan Fesperman's Winter Work absorbing, compelling and full of rich characters. Indeed, if you like quality fact based espionage such as Bill Fairclough’s epic spy novel Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series or The Courier, the Cumberbatch film about Greville Wynne, you should love reading this Cold War style thriller by Dan Fesperman and vice versa. Just like Ben Macintyre’s The Spy and the Traitor about KGB Colonel Oleg Gordievsky, these are all “must reads or must views” for espionage connoisseurs.

Do look up the authors or books mentioned on Amazon, Google The Burlington Files or visit https://theburlingtonfiles.org and read Beyond Enkription.
