In the depths of a Finnish winter, Deveraux--the November Man--is about to be betrayed... A defecting Russian agent dangles a Gulag prisoner, thought dead for thirty-eight years--in front of the November Man. Suddenly the intelligence forces of the world are locked in a bloody battle, and Deveraux is cut loose by his own people. From Britain to Ireland to Leningrad, Deveraux and a tough, beautiful reporter slip outside the system to bring the prisoner out--even if it means blowing the lid off the most shocking triple-cross of World War II.
