Hierarchies of Greed

When his London espionage cell is blown, Soviet espionage chief Stanislav Paslov traces the leak to the ruling Presidium. Paslov must find the traitor, but time is running out, Stalin is dying, and division and treachery are everywhere. With no one in Moscow he can trust, Paslov calls an old adversary in Washington.

Since joining the CIA, Gerald Hammond has seen his principles compromised and his personal life torn apart. Divorced from the faithless Emma, and rejected by the young and capricious Catherine, only Theresa remains constant in her affection, but Theresa is married to a friend and Hammond still clings to a few principles.

Desperately lonely, he throws himself into his work. A colleague is talking to the Soviets, and that opens a raft of possibilities, and the British MI6 agent Philby is yet to be exposed for the traitor he undoubtedly is. But the colleague has powerful friends, and relations with the British are already strained.

For Hammond, the call from Paslov comes as a welcome respite, and together this unlikeliest of allies set about unmasking the traitor and discovering the truth. When it is done each man will come to understand his own version of that truth. He will also come to question himself, his life, and everything that he once believed in.
