An Officer and a Spy

Wolfgang Müller, has worked on my manuscripts whilst they were still being written, and as usual he has made many suggestions and corrected many mistakes. My French editor, Ivan Nabokov, has also been a great source of support.
    Finally, there is one other name to mention. Over the course of twenty-five years of married life – a total achieved just as this book was completed – my wife, Gill Hornby, has been obliged to share our house with successive waves of Nazis, codebreakers, KGB men, hedge fund managers, ghostwriters and assorted ancient Romans; this time it was officers of the French General Staff. I thank her for her love, tolerance, and shrewd literary judgement over a quarter of a century.
    All the errors that remain, factual and stylistic, along with the various sleights of hand in narrative and characterisation invariably required to turn fact into fiction, remain my sole responsibility.
