The White Lie Assignment

by Peter Driscoll

THE WHITE LIE ASSIGNMENT is the story of a London photographer's caper with British Intelligence in Communist Albania. Michael Mannis had done a little business with the MI5 intelligence organization before. He is selected for an assignment that will carry him to Albania to take covert photographs of something that may not even exist. The assignment involves only a few white lies about Mannis' background. Mannis soon discovers that the fate of Western Europe may hinge on his photographs--and that one super-power will stop at nothing to get them.

Intriguing

Set (written) in a time of my burgeoning interest in spy novels and reminding me of the spy scandals of that time.

Very enjoyable, graphic detail and intriguing plot.

I'm trying many more authors through Kindle unlimited and glad I decided on Peter Driscoll. Look forward to continuing our relationship.
