The Night of Wenceslas
Lionel Davidson
Young Nicholas Whistler, dissolute and disillusioned, lives a life of dull monotony in London. Caught up in a petty money-lenders dispute, he finds himself sent to Prague to discharge the debt by carrying out a simple assignment. But this business trip will soon drag him into the world of Cold War espionage and the battle for atomic supremacy.
