Product Description

Book Description

Giles Denison's life is turned upside down when he awakes to find himself in a luxurious hotel in Oslo and, peering into the bathroom mirror, discovers the face of another man! He has been kidnapped from his flat in London and transformed into famous Finnish scientist, Dr Harold Feltham Meyrick. Compelled to adjust to his new persona (including meeting his daughter) and to play out the role assigned to him by his captors, he embarks on a dangerous escapade from Norway to Finland and across the border into Soviet Russia.


About the Author

Celebrated for his fast-paced stories and attention to detail, thriller writer Desmond Bagley was born in the Lake District and spent his early working life in the aircraft industry, before his adventurous spirit took him on an exciting road trip to South Africa, where he settled as a freelance journalist and film critic. His first novel, The Golden Keel was an instant success, and he went on to write a further fifteen gripping stories, which have been translated into more than 20 languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bagley at his best, 28 Jun 2001
By A Customer
As usual, Bagley holds your attention from beginning to end. The plot twists and turns throughout. I wasn't sure when I read the synopsis but I'd definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I have ever read, 5 Jan 2009
This book is undoubtedly the best I have ever read. It is both an interesting study of what happens to the human mind when confronted with the unimaginable, and a gripping story filled with action based at the height of the Cold War.
