This book is the story, and Georgi Markov was the refugee. He was a member of Bulgaria's ruling elite, and moved in the highest circles. When he wrote his memoirs, not complimentary, his life was forfeit. His cosmopolitan scholarship, world-class wit, and devastating revelations about the workings of Bulgaria's puppet regime make this a rollicking and astonishing read. The umbrella-gun assassination is the least of it.
