The Bearpit (1988)
In the last days of the KGB, a nefarious plot against the United States threatens to reignite the Cold War
The Soviet Union is in turmoil. With the election of Gorbachev have come new ideas about freedom, compassion, and openness—ideas that leave no place for the dark machinations of the KGB. Reform is coming to the Soviet intelligence service, unless Victor Ivanovich Kazin can stop it.
Kazin is one of the Old Guard, and an agent doesn’t survive three decades in the KGB without being relentless. He is a liar, a cheat, a backstabber—and he is proud of it. To oppose this latest wave of reform, Kazin has planned an audacious operation targeting the CIA, using a mole deep inside Langley. It will require every ounce of his cunning and cruelty, and Kazin never fails.
The Kremlin Kiss (1984) aka The Lost American
A new British operative in Moscow becomes mired in a web of deceit

To the director, Jeremy is simply another small concern—something to be contained and controlled.
But this new spy is not one for control. Jeremy joined the secret service to get away from his father, and he took an assignment in Moscow because it was supposed to mean autonomy. What he finds there is something else: a suffocating world of expatriates who each night hold the same cocktail parties and tell the same anecdotes. Beneath the façade something big is brewing, but to get to the truth Jeremy will have to navigate a strange society where the diplomats are never as dangerous as their wives.
Deaken’s War (1982)
A lawyer gets caught in the crossfire of a deadly civil war in Africa
Richard Deaken has lost his nerve. Once a globally renowned trial lawyer, he has suffered a string of bad results that have sapped his confidence and dulled the edge necessary for success in the high-stakes world of international law. Resigned to life in obscurity, he has retreated to an unimpressive office in Geneva, where the trickle of low-paying clients doesn’t come close to supporting the lifestyle that he – and his wife – are used to. But a big case is right around the corner.
Deaken’s new employers are soldiers in a vicious African civil war on the brink of erupting into unprecedented bloodshed. An order of $50 million worth of arms is on its way to his client’s opponents, and to stop it they have kidnapped the arms dealer’s son. They ask Deaken to negotiate the ransom – the guns in exchange for the child – and he cannot say no, because the guerillas have also kidnapped his wife.
A Mind to Kill (2011)

Married for six years, their life seems blissful until the day she brings a kitchen knife to his office and stabs him to death in broad daylight. It is an open-and-shut case, but Jennifer pleads innocence, claiming that it wasn’t she who stabbed him—it was Jane, possessing Jennifer’s body to take revenge on her unfaithful husband from beyond the grave. Is Jennifer mad? Is she lying? Or might her tale of supernatural possession hold a sinister truth?
