Carefully researched, Hoodwink is a post-Soviet spy yarn that reveals how Freemasonry is abused and exposes its hold on the most sensitive areas of our society.
Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian president discovers he has inherited an ongoing operation to destabilise the British Establishment by releasing an array of Masonic scandals when Russia's illegal resident, the urbane Kate Holland (Katya Bezsmertnik), "defects" to New York.
The President orders case-master General Asseyev to abort the operation, but is thwarted by outmoded technology when he discovers Katya's love affair with Edmund Rossington Bart., her chief source on Masonic misdoings.
Hoodwink is certain to appeal to all thriller fans and anyone interested in the workings of Freemasonry.
Russia's "illegal residents" have recently been much in the news, and there's been a dearth of books, fiction or factual, about the Masons as a secret society in our midst since the 1995 paperback edition of Martin Short's Inside the Brotherhood.
Dominic served in the British Diplomatic Service during the Cold War. He has drawn on his experiences in several countries when writing his spy stories. Hoodwink benefits from his work in Germany in the last days of the German Democratic Republic.
Now retired, he lives with his wife in France, continuing to work in international affairs. With grandchildren arriving he is particularly concerned to help counter political reluctance to act on climate change.
