Description

75 years? You must be joking! No, it's true. The United States Air Force arrived in Britain, which was just as well, as the Brits were having a hard time getting their butts kicked by the Nazis. But that particular battle was won in 1945. The Yanks didn't go home. Then there was the Korean War, (which was shared). Then Vietnam, (which Britain failed to join). The Americans stayed put. Even when the Berlin Wall came down, they wouldn't pack their bags. What's it going to take to move these foreign soldiers off British soil? Even the Prime Minister doesn't have an answer. She thinks they will be there for ever. So, it's a bit of a mad surprise when a bunch of U.S. Generals turn up at Downing Street and offer to quit. What kind of game is this? What are they playing at? What are they hoping to gain? More important, for people in British Security like secret agent Mickey, can they even be trusted, or is this just another twist and turn in the international game of thrones that is known as the Cold War? Mickey wonders if such offers should even be taken seriously. But when the bodies start piling up, and people are getting murdered for no apparent reason, he is forced to knuckle down and start solving the latest in a long line of mysteries.
