When Christine Ritchie's husband Mark, who is a Member of Parliament, disappears he is said to be a member of the KGB. Christine refuses to believe this and sets out to find him and to prove his innocence.
Ted Willis (1914-1992) was a British playwright, novelist and screenwriter who was also politically active in support of the Labour Party. He was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s most prolific writer for television, and also wrote 34 stage plays and 39 feature films.
To the outside world, and even to his wife, the picture Mark Ritchie presented was that of a successful Tory politician. What then was Chris Ritchie to think when, one bright morning, quite without explanation, he disappeared? Naturally there were questions in high places. And answers also. Answers that Chris refused to believe. Surely she knew Mark better than the men from M.I.5?
