High Jinx: A Blackford Oakes Novel

[Read by Christopher Hurt]

Blackford Oakes hunts for a mole inside MI6 after a catastrophe in Albania.

As Anatole Broyard of the New York Times has so aptly said, ''If le CarrÃ© is the Henry James of suspense fiction, Buckley, if he chose, might be the Waugh.'' Bill Buckley has created a handsome American hero, Blackford Oakes, who happens to be an irreverent Yale-and-CIA-trained superspy.

The year is 1954. Stalin has died in Moscow and a deadly earnest power play nears its conclusion. Meanwhile, British and American commandos on a mission to liberate a Soviet satellite country have met a disastrous end. Jinxed. The communications system between English and American intelligence has been penetrated. Jinxed. There is a spook in their midst. High Jinx -- higher still when the risk becomes one which Blacky alone must take.
