We are in the third year of perestroika and glasnost. The place is Moscow. The man is Barley: a derelict English publisher with a passion of jazz and a penchant for booze, who visits the Moscow Book Fair. The woman is Katya: a beautiful Russian with a mission to mankind and access to some of the hottest defense intelligence to come out of the Soviet Union in years. Its source: a disillusioned and desperate Russian physicist who wants Barley to publish the secrets . . . but the British Secret Service and the CIA have other ideas. In the Russia House, the action moves from Moscow to a safehouse in London, to a CIA-owned island off the coast of Maine and back again to the Soviet Union. What unfolds between Barley and Katya is a spy story and a love story. This is John le Carre at his incomparable best.
