'I've done a deal', said Callan's boss, Hunter. 'Perhaps the nastiest deal in my career. I'm giving you to the Russians.'

 The KGB had picked up the Section's top man in Russia. So far he was still alive and well. He would continue to be so now that negotiations were concluded.

'You're trading me for him?'

'It was like weighing two diamonds'. said Hunter. 'each perfectly cut, each virtually flawless. Our man in Russia weighed just one carat more. I'm very sorry.'

'You realise what they'll do to me?...'

'They want you dead. They want it so badly they're prepared to give me my top man back unharmed in exchange for you.'

;'For my corpse.'

The word went round. No gun for Callen, Not even Lonely, his faithful henceman, could get him one. And three men from the KGB had arrived - to kill him.

James Mitchell's RUSSIAN ROULETTE is un-putdownable - a masterpiece of excitement
