When a Dad tries to dig a hole in his Northern Virginia yard to bury the remains of the family pet, he chances upon something buried years before—a mysterious briefcase. Its contents include a journal with cryptic writing. The father turns to his friend—and boss—Templeton Davis, a former Rhodes scholar and popular national radio talk show host, for help figuring out what he’s found.

They soon realize that they are in possession of materials that were hidden more than 60 years earlier by a notorious deep cover agent for the Soviet Union—Kim Philby. And buried with the materials were clues to a great secret—the identity of someone else, the most effective spy in the history of Cold War espionage.

Long a mere footnote in history, the story of this man’s treachery reaches the pinnacles of power and geopolitics. It's a story that begins just before the Second World War breaks out and reaches the depths of the Cold War that followed.

The trail leads to a picturesque town in Vermont, the streets of New York City, the corridors of power in Washington, DC—but most importantly, Oxford, England, where Davis realizes that the beautiful city of spires on the Thames was once also a city of spies.

The Oxford spies may never have reached the level of public notoriety of the Cambridge spies--but clearly the story had never been completely known—or told. And investigating British spies was a very dangerous mine of detail in which to dig, a fact borne out by a couple of suspicious deaths left in the wake of Templeton Davis’s travels.

Davis discovers that at the moment when the world came closest to unparalleled disaster, secrets were being betrayed at the highest levels. He would also come to understand that what he had learned connected to a time of great sorrow for mankind. This is ultimate Kennedy assassination conspiracy story.

At a crucial moment, Templeton Davis quickly develops a bond borne of necessity with a beautiful young woman from Russia—someone with her own secrets. And when what she knows is combined with what the famous broadcaster has learned, the two unlikely heroes find themselves in grave danger, yet poised to rock the world.

Camelot's Cousin is a skillfully crafted example of both espionage fiction and historical fiction. And it will leave the reader wondering if it could have really happened.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I would define it as "light espionage." The characters were well developed. The story was engaging. A measure of a good book, in my opinion, is one that you do not want to end. There are many tiny sub-plots that you want to see resolved, so you are enticed - purposely or not - by the author to dig further. That is exactly how I was left - wanting to know more. Mr. Stokes's inclusive bibliography added a lot to my personal to-be-read list. The factual historical references were eye opening and begging for follow through. I also appreciated that the book avoided lurid scenes and language.

I liked the book. It was easy to read. The protagonists are likeable and the story was thrilling though the Kennedy plot disappointed me at first a little bit.

If you have a liking for Colin Forbes et al , or you enjoy books about espionage and conspiracy theories - you will simply love this one. I had to keep reminding myself that it was fiction not fact - as the plot is interspersed with facts appertaining to the Cambridge Spies Philby , Maclean , Burgess and to a lesser extent Blunt. It has whetted my appetite to read more factual accounts of just what allegedly went on all those years ago and to try and determine just how much of what I have just read is factual and how much is fiction ! Fantastic well worth the read

Being a "child of the 60's" it gives a new twist on the usual government line on the Kennedy Assassination. I loved the book the author did a great job pulling facts together to make it believable. I love books that make you think.

4,0 su 5 stelle Fact or Fiction?

I downloaded this book to my Kindle some time ago. When I decided to read it now I couldn't remember anything about it. So I opened it and began reading. I couldn't decide if this was fiction or not, though I don't usually read non-fiction. It reads like a chronology of deciphering clues from a found suitcase of apparent spy stuff. I didn't recognize the name of the radio personality but I don't listen to talk radio so I thought perhaps he was a real person.

It's a well-written book, the story holds up well, for the most part, and the characters appear very real. It wasn't until I finished the entire book that I found the author's note at the end, proclaiming this book to be pure fiction! So now I know. But it still reads like a type of expose of Cold War spy tactics between the Soviet Union and the US. Interesting premise, interesting book. I recommend this to readers who enjoy a good spy thriller now and then.
