Ted Allbeury

    24 octobre 1917 – 4 décembre 2005

    Ted Allbeury s'est fait connaître pour ses romans d'espionnage, puisant profondément dans ses expériences en tant que lieutenant-colonel dans le Corps du renseignement pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ses récits se caractérisent par des intrigues captivantes et des explorations perspicaces de la psychologie des personnages et des complexités des opérations secrètes. Au-delà des thrillers, il s'est également aventuré dans la fiction générale et les nouvelles, explorant les thèmes de la trahison et des liens humains. La représentation habile des dilemmes moraux complexes par Allbeury cimente son importance en tant que voix distinctive dans la fiction d'espionnage.

      SIS officer James Boyd has just been given the most dangerous assignment of his the MKULTRA case. An obscure cocktail of mind-altering drugs, MKULTRA is being used by the mafia to hypnotise its unwitting accomplices in murder, theft and espionage. But nobody had foreseen the devastating effects the drug would have on these people, who are effectively treated like laboratory mice in the deadly games played by the mob. Now, for the sake of the Service, and for the innocent people caught up in this mess, Boyd is determined to seek out the perpetrators and see that justice is done.
