Klappentext zu „Young Philby “
One midnight in January in the early 1960s, the Russian freighter Domatova quietly slipped out of Beirut harbour. The ship had sailed with a single passenger on board: an Englishman named Harold Adrian Russell Philby, nicknamed Kim. He had fled the Lebanese capital with little more than the clothes on his back. The Englishman had used editions of James Hilton's "Lost Horizon" for enciphering purposes (page, line and letter number) when he communicated with his Soviet controllers. As the lights of Beirut vanished, he tried to imagine the life that awaited him in the Soviet Union. Would Moscow Centre welcome him as a senior Soviet intelligence officer? Would the Great Game the Englishman was so keen to play have a third act? For a spy, like a climber on a cliff, was there really no way out except up? With the same mastery and attention to detail he brought to "The Stalin Epigram", Robert Littell delivers a gripping novel about the most enigmatic spy of the last century.
Autoren-Porträt von Robert Littell
Robert Littell gilt als Meister des amerikanischen Spionageromans. Sein Buch »Die kalte Legende« wurde von der Presse als »einer der besten Agententhriller, die je geschrieben wurden« bezeichnet, und steht ganz in der Tradition von John le Carré. Er erhielt dafür den Deutschen Krimipreis 2007 in der Kategorie »Internationale Krimis«. Bevor er sich dem Schreiben zuwandte, arbeitete der Autor als Newsweek-Korrespondent im Nahen Osten. Der Autor lebt heute in Frankreich.

Rezension zu „Young Philby “
'A riveting read!' Frederick Forsythe 'Littell at his best! The last pages of this novel, which marries suspense, humour and stories large and small, are as incredible as they are admirable' Le Figaro Magazine 'Littell draws a fascinating and complex portrait of a spy who seemed a different person to everyone he met' Paris-Match
