The Red Fox

The Red Fox

Soviet affairs specialist Robert Thorne receives a strange message from May Brightman, a woman he had been due to marry twenty years earlier.

It is the anniversary of his fatherâ€™s suicide and he is making the journey to the grave alone this time without his mother.

The message from May is abrupt and strange.

Robert has settled into a comfortable routine of journalism and academia since they first parted in unfortunate circumstances all those years ago.

But he cannot bring himself to ignore her.

Mayâ€™s father, Harry Brightman, has gone missing and frantic with worry she believes Robert is the only person who can help her.

Robert is cynical and initially suggests Harry has gone after women and adventure in his old age.

Yet soon a mystery begins to unravel which reveals Robert to be more involved than he could ever have imagined.

Travelling around Canada, Georgetown, Paris and Russia he is propelled by an instinctive urge to uncover the truth.

The mysteries of Russia and communist activity are shrouded in secrecy by spies, betrayal and murder.

Opposing factions leave Robert unsure of who to trust and he wonders how much May knows herself.

Is he being manipulated by her?

This is a story of betrayal, murder and the lengths we will go to for the ones we love or for a cause we believe in above all else.
