This is the story of the quest, undertaken by Major Kavan Elliott's son - the author Geoffrey Elliott - for the truth about his father. Who was Major Kavan Elliott, womanizer, World War II saboteur, rogue and peacetime spy? Behind an ostensibly respectable facade, his business covered a nomadic life which entangled him in a web of deception, beautiful women, communist double-agents and interrogation at the hands of the Gestapo and the Hungarian secret police. Elliott's search for his father takes him from the torture chambers of Budapest to the classified archives of the British Secret Intelligence Service and reveals a tale of espionage, betrayal, romance and double-dealing - a trail which led from suburban Croydon to Tsarist Siberia.
