Farewell my dear Colonel by Leonid Kolosov

It is a very typical spy novel set around the NATO era. Mostly, it deals with the American or British arm of NATO’s intelligence gathering on the then U.S.S.R. NATO intelligence officers disguise as embassy personnel in the Soviet, mark their targets and make them extract important secret information after exploiting their weakness and showering them with money.

The story mainly involves around two intelligence agents. One of them, a Belgian national, Ingvar Ross, working for Americans in NATO falls in love with a Russian woman and defects taking the story further. I don’t want to tell the end of the story…


There are remote chances that you will find this book somewhere (save Russia).
