Spy In Chancery

Edward I of England and Philip IV of France are at war. Philip, by devious means, has managed to seize control of the English duchy of Aquitaine in France, and is now determined to crush Edward. King Edward suspects that his enemy is being aided by a spy in the English court and commissions his chancery clerk, Hugh Corbett, to trace and, if possible, destroy the traitor. Corbett's mission brings him into danger on both land and at sea, and takes him to Paris, and its dangerous underworld, and then to hostile Wales. Unwillingly he is drawn into the murky undercurrents of international politics in the last decade of the thirteenth century. And the spy will stop at nothing, not even murder, to keep his identity secret. The third novel in Paul Doherty's Hugh Corbett series.

Peter Craig’s crash course in espionage takes place in Rome, where he is seconded by S.3 – the Special Security Service – with orders to investigate a suspected KGB infiltration of the British Embassy, which has already resulted in the death of one MI6 officer. Using his cover as a security advisor, Craig investigates the Embassy’s intrigues and clashing motivations to find the spy, with the help of an Ambassador whose disdain for the ‘dreadfully sordid business’ of espionage takes a back seat when he sees a chance to settle old scores with a little ‘disinformatsiya’ of his own. Within the week, the cast of players has grown to encompass the CIA, private detectives and the Mafia, and with a daring ruse to flush out the spy, Craig makes himself and his friends into targets for the Kremlin.
