But alas, in the wake of an embarrassing disaster for MI6, Wilderness has been posted to remote northern Finland in a cultural exchange program to promote Britain abroad. Bored by his work, with nothing to spy on, Wilderness finds another way to make money: smuggling vodka across the border into the USSR. He strikes a deal with old KGB pal Kostya, who explains to him there is a vodka shortage in the Soviet Union - but there is something fishy about Kostya's sudden appearance in Finland and intelligence from London points to a connection to cobalt mining in the region, a critical component in the casing of the atomic bomb. Wilderness's posting is getting more interesting by the minute, but more dangerous too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving from the no-man's-land of Cold War Finland to the wild days of the Prague Spring, and populated by old friends (including Inspector Troy) and old enemies alike, \u003ci\u003eHammer to Fall\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping tale of deception and skulduggery, of art and politics, a page-turning story of the always riveting life of the British spy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 197 x 29 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781611854725\n                            \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Main\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JohnLawton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44093710500090,"sku":"9781611854725","price":6.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/f86f488017f10a550d22034b1d641669.jpg?v=1623130765","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hammer-to-fall","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
