The Flowers of the Forest

Joseph Hone

One warm afternoon on a Scottish country estate, a man suddenly vanishes. And, most disturbing, he is the head of a section of the Secret Service. Though Peter Marlow believes he has left the unhappy world of espionage far behind him, unexpected pressures now lead him to take up the search for the missing man. Immediately he is snared in a web of violence and intrigue - ranging from Downing Street duplicity to anonymous hired killers. And, as the trail leads hom across Europe, Marlow finds his journey signposted by death and forgotten betrayals…painfully exposing the dark recesses of public and private treason.
