The Fourth Protocol

Joan McGrath is a Toronto Board of Education library consultant.

It is 1987. The Fourth Protocol forbids any of the signatory nations, among them Great Britain and the Soviet Union, to introduce onto the territory of any nation a device in assembled or unassembled form by covert means, for detonation... but a Soviet agent is attempting to do just that. The intention of Plan Aurora is to change forever the course of history, by means of a nuclear explosion in a British city.

A jewel robbery in London quite accidentally uncovers one trailing thread of the vast web of espionage. It is for MIS investigator John Preston to find the traitors within his own organization who have made the plot possible, as well as the Soviet spy whose suicide mission will turn Plan Aurora into a living nightmare of destruction. As exciting and readable as the author’s other successful thrillers, including The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File.
