{"product_id":"the-umbrella-murder-ulrik-skotte-9780753560181","title":"The Umbrella Murder","description":"Discover the page-turning true story of the most iconic Cold War spy killing of all time, perfect for fans of Ben Macintyre, Henry Hemming and the novels of John Le Carre.\nLondon, 1978: exiled Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov is murdered on Waterloo Bridge with what appears to be a poison-tipped umbrella. It would become the most infamous unsolved killing of the Cold War.\nMany years later, young journalist Ulrik Skotte is approached with explosive new information about a man alleged to be responsible for Markov’s death – a spy code-named Piccadilly who worked for the Bulgarian secret service. This meeting launched Skotte into a hunt for the killer lasting more than a quarter of a century, bringing him face to face with eccentric conspiracy theorists, a washed-up former dictator, ageing Danish spooks – and, ultimately, with Agent Piccadilly himself.\nDrawing on an incredible cache of original documents, interviews and archive material, The Umbrella Murder provides jaw-dropping answers to questions that have persisted for nearly five decades: who killed Georgi Markov? And who has been protecting the assassin ever since?","brand":"Ebury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50559816696096,"sku":"9780753560181","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780753560181_667106.jpg?v=1788810832","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-umbrella-murder-ulrik-skotte-9780753560181","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
