~ Standard Hardcover Retired British secret service agent Tim Cranmer finds himself asked by both the local police and his former employers about the disappearance of Dr. Larry Pet tifer, his childhood acquaintance and long-time double agent against the former Soviet Union. Soon Cranmer is on the run, searching for his brilliant protégé, and desperately eluding his former colleagues in a frantic journey across Europe and into the lawless, battered landscapes of Moscow and southern Russia, to save whatever of his life he has left . . . Beautiful, tragic, moralistic, and profoundly sad, Our Game is a Byronic love triangle told in the first person that also explores conversions and awakenings because sometimes you have to die to live, and sometimes you have to kill to love.
