The Spy who was left out in the Cold - Tim Tate - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Spy who was left out in the Cold - Tim Tate - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Spring 1958: a mysterious individual believed to be high up in the Polish secret service began passing Soviet secrets to the West. His name was Michal Goleniewski and he remains one of the most important, yet least known and most misunderstood spies of the Cold War. Even his death is shrouded in mystery and he has been written out of the history of Cold War espionage - until now. Tim Tate draws on a wealth of previously-unpublished primary source documents to tell the dramatic true story of the best spy the west ever lost - of how Goleniewski exposed hundreds of KGB agents operating undercover in the West; from George Blake and the ''Portland Spy Ring'', to a senior Swedish Air Force and NATO officer and a traitor inside the Israeli government. The information he produced devastated intelligence services on both sides of the Iron Curtain.Bringing together love and loyalty, courage and treachery, betrayal, greed and, ultimately, insanity, here is the extraordinary true story of one of the most significant but little known spies of the Cold War.Acclaim for The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold : ''Totally gripping . . . a masterpiece. Tate lifts the lid on one of the most important and complex spies of the Cold War, who passed secrets to the West and finally unmasked traitor George Blake.'' HELEN FRY, author of MI9: A History of the Secret Service for Escape and Evasion in World War Two ''A wonderful and at times mind-boggling account of a bizarre and almost forgotten spy - right up to the time when he''s living undercover in Queens, New York and claiming to be the last of the Romanoffs.'' SIMON KUPER, author of The Happy Traitor ''A highly readable and thoroughly researched account of one of the Cold War''s most intriguing and tragic spy stories.''

The Cat Who Came In From The Cold - Deric Longden - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The little cat Deric Longden saw sitting forlornly on an upturned bucket belonged to the neighbours, but somehow when it began to rain it seemed only natural to bring him inside. Once there he slipped so easily into Deric and Aileen''s lives that there was an unspoken agreement that he had found his real home. Little did he know that he had entered the Longden world, in which the unexpected (almost) always happens. . .Aileen being Aileen, it was probably inevitable that sooner or later the kitten would be trapped in the refrigerator. And Deric being Deric, the obvious way to thaw him back to life was to make a little coat for him out of a shrunken thermal vest. Thus the cat who came in from the cold got his name - Thermal - and joined the wonderful cast of characters in the ongoing Longden saga.

The Restless Sleep - Stacy Horn - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Restless Sleep - Stacy Horn - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

There is no statute of limitations on murder. It is one crime you pay for - but first you must be caught. And in New York City, thousands of murders remain unsolved... It was while working as a volunteer post 9/11 that New York-based writer and broadcaster Stacy Horn first learned of the existence of the NYPD''s ''Cold Case and Apprehension Squad''. This small but elite unit has but a single purpose: to pursue murder cases that have, for whatever reason - the passage of time, lack of evidence, loss of investigative momentum - gone ''cold''. These are the deaths that have been forgotten, that languish in dusty filing cabinets in precinct HQ basements, some dating back over fifty years. The Cold Case team''s job is to reach into the past and rescue the victims from oblivion, to answer the questions ''who were they?'', ''what happened to them?'' and ''who did this to them?'', to lay their ghosts to rest. Theirs is the world that inspires and informs television series such as CSI and Waking the Dead . Given unprecedented access to the Squad, Stacy Horn worked alongside the talented, indefatigable, sometimes ill-at-ease and all-too human detectives as they investigate four cases from inception to resolution. An enthralling chronicle of the two years she spent with the team, The Restless Sleep is both a compelling insider''s view of a real-life subculture of crime solving - from its tangled history, the politics and bureaucracy to the science, the emotional and physical toll, and the lucky breaks - and a singular exploration of human nature itself.
