The Berlin Memorandum / Quiller Memorandum
You are a secret agent working for the British in Berlin. You are due to go home on leave, but you are being followed by your own people, or by the enemy. A man meets you in the theater and briefs you on a plot to revive the power of Na*zi Germany. You do not believe him, but you remember that one of the suspects mentioned was a senior SS officer you met with in the days when you were working as a spy in Na*zi Germany. The next day you make contact with a beautiful girl who may know something. Someone tries to kill both of you. Your name is Quiller. You are the hero of an extraordinary novel which shows how a spy works, how messages are coded and decoded, how contacts are made, how a man reacts under the influence of truth drugs and which traces the story of a vastly complex, entertaining, convincing, and sinister plot.

Though Pol Pot is deathly ill, Quiller learns that he has carefully chosen a successor who plans to direct the next Cambodian bloodbath.

Quiller Balalaika
It’s Quiller s most dangerous mission yet, and is also his last for the British intelligence agency so secret that it has no name. No matter that its orders originate at the Prime Minister level; if detected, it would be denied at that and every other level of the government. Quiller s orders this time take the pseudonymous operative to post Cold War Russia to infiltrate the powerful and omnipresent mafiya that controls every sector and ruble of the country s fragile economy. More ruthless than the Sicilian brotherhood and as conscienceless as the Colombian drug cartels, the mafiya owns top politicians, judges, generals, bankers, and the police. Those it doesn t own it can buy, and those it doesn t choose to buy, it eliminates. Chief among the lawless mafiya lords stands a criminally brilliant British national, whom the agency wants taken out of play. Quiller learns that the one man who can help him achieve his goal is impounded in Gulank, the most infamous of all the gulags. Quiller must sneak his way into Gulank, and from a gulag that no prisoner has ever escaped, rescue the only person who can save his last, internationally vital mission.
