And Ben Jonson, the Oxford archaeologist her of Peter Levi's previous novel, "Grave Witness", after attending a demonstration of the prototype in Paris, finds himself pig in the middle in a triangular free-for-all between the KGB, the CIA and British Intelligence. As individual and original as it predecessor, "Knit One, Drop One" combines an intriguing plot with an ironic and highly amusing view of the world of intelligence and high politics. Book Dust jacket
