Marco Polo, If You Can

CIA super-secret agent, Blackford Oakes is called in to unmask a shadowy Russian mole who threatens to undermine the Free World's defenses. Oakes turns the tables on the communists by piloting a U-2 spy plane behind the Iron Curtain. Sentenced to death and trapped in the depths of Lubyanka prison, Oakes may have played his last trick. Or has he? Blackford Oakes novels have always had a very wide appeal, as readers are drawn by the delightful characters and intricate plots. "Marco Polo, If You Can" and "See You Later Alligator" have plenty of both.
