The Man From Yesterday

The Man From Yesterday coverAfter his worldwide success with the bestselling The Cooler, set in wartime Britain, George Markstein turns to the immediate present for his next great spy thriller, published in 1977.

There is, he reveals, a side of espionage that nobody talks about. Espionage between friends, espionage between Britain and the United States. Robert Kell is an American intelligence agent in England and he is bending the rules. And that can be dangerous.

Like The Cooler, The Man From Yesterday is of course fiction. Yet like The Cooler it is based on fact. It is indeed another story that can be told only as fiction. Until recently, the book would have been top secret.

Readers will recognise Markstein’s amazing ability to take a convincing piece of history and invest it with a cont ext that is sinister beyond our imagini ngs. He blends the commonplace and the horrifying, and keeps one fascinated until the mystery is unravelled.

The Man From Yesterday will keep you reading, and set you thinking. It has happened once. It could be happening again, Is it? Today?
