About this listen
After an acrimonious US election whose outcome Moscow may or may not have influenced, can it really be that a few maverick intelligence agents from Russia and the United States are fighting a discreet battle to the death on some of London’s back streets? And that the corpses are piling up, out of sight of the British police? And even that the whole thing could spiral at any moment into God knows what version of a third world war? Or is that just more “fake news”? Well, luckily, no it isn’t. Not yet, anyway. Because the media still hasn’t heard about it. But that could change.
When MI7 Agent John Mordred is assigned to investigate, he discovers a veritable Schrödinger’s cat situation in which the relevant facts are neither wholly present nor entirely absent. And where some of the evidence lies closer to home than is comfortable. Slowly, possibilities emerge that surpass his greatest apprehensions. Or do they? Just what is the truth anyway, and why do we care?

Spies and hacks they think alike.
James Mordred is a spy, MI7's 'agent in fu!l sight'.His current girlfriend is a spy and she seems to be keeping him out of the loop about something. A meeting with a group of newspaper editors seemed to indicate that they were concerned about being fed false news to alter public opinions to influence a future general election to place an unexpected candidate in No.10,one who would then be open to pressure from outside. Meanwhile, a Little War is rumoured to be taking place with London as it's ground location - between agents of the USA and Russia. But is everything as it seems? That's for Mordred to untangle.
This rather British spy story mixes fiction with contemporary events and people, so many twists it's hard to keep up and complete with disappearances, murders, intrigue, food, non murders, double dealing, conspiracy and rather neat conversations. It is well written and densely packed. Enjoyable trips around London, too. The narration is also very English, Clive Johnson providing a good reading of the far from underdeveloped plot. His voice is well modulated, pleasant to hear and conveys a certain bland gravitas to the proceedings.
Little War in London is intrigue taken to one step further and is also good fun. Each chapter is preceded by a brief heading: listen out for them as they can be quirky, too. One simply states that it is, 'A chapter that's impossible to summarize in a heading' and another states that it's ' the 19th best chapter in the bolk.' Great stuff.
My thanks to the rights holder of the book who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. A most enjoyable read.
