The Menwith Tangle

For the setting of his latest spy thriller, Ross turns to his native heath - Menwith Hill, the real and highly- strategic radio installation on the North Yorkshire moors near Harrogate. Suspected espionage at Menwith prompts an undercover investigation by America's CIA, and semi-retired Section agent Marcus Farrow is pressed back into active service by his formidable ex-boss, Charlie McGowan. Their customary ruthless methods quickly provoke bitter clashes with both the CIA and our own Military Intelligence and the operation, further complicated by the slaying in Harrogate of an agent from the West German BND, is bedevilled by internecine squabbles. Undeterred by the furore they are creating, Farrow and McGowan pursue their private war with that grim and unswerving intensity for which they have long been notorious. Ross's international army of fans will be delighted to find that, with THE MENWITH TANGLE, his reputation for furious action, acid wit, and meticulous research into authentic background is not merely maintained, but enhanced. Readers new to the series have an exciting treat in store.
