Description
<p>Part biography, part forensic jigsaw puzzle, part cold-case detective investigation,<i> The Eagle in the Mirror</i> is the story of Charles Howard 'Dick' Ellis. The longest-serving spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Ellis helped set up the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), now known as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). In the 1940s he was considered one of the top three secret agents in MI6 and controlled its activities, as one journalist put it, 'for half the world'.<br><br>But in the 1980s crusading espionage journalist Chapman Pincher (in the hugely successful books <i>Their Trade is Treachery</i> and <i>Too Secret Too Long</i>) and retired MI5 intelligence officer Peter Wright (in the worldwide bestseller <i>Spycatcher</i>) posthumously accused Ellis of having operated as a 'triple agent' for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In 1965, while under interrogation in London, Ellis had allegedly made a confession that he had supplied information to the Nazis before World War II. However, Pincher's and Wright's accusations against Ellis have never been comprehensively proven. No confession has materialised.<br><br>Was Ellis guilty or was an innocent man framed? By confessing did he take the fall for someone else? Or had the intelligence agencies of the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia been fatally compromised by a 'super mole'? Internationally bestselling author JESSE FINK (<i>Pure Narco</i>,<i> Bon: The Last Highway</i>, <i>The Youngs</i>) attempts to find out the truth once and for all.<br><br><i>The Eagle in the Mirror</i> is not just a long-overdue biography of the unheralded Dick Ellis; it's a gripping real-life international whodunit.</p>
