The British Cross (The November Man Book 4) Kindle Edition

In the depths of a Finnish winter, Deveraux--the November Man--is about to be betrayed...

A defecting Russian agent dangles a Gulag prisoner, thought dead for thirty-eight years--in front of the November Man. Suddenly the intelligence forces of the world are locked in a bloody battle, and Deveraux is cut loose by his own people.

From Britain to Ireland to Leningrad, Deveraux and a tough, beautiful reporter slip outside the system to bring the prisoner out--even if it means blowing the lid off the most shocking triple-cross of World War II.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great november man novel
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
I am a huge fan of all the "November Man" novels. "The British Cross" is one of the best. It is a tail steeped in the intrigues of the cold war. It sees the return of Rita Macklin, Denisov, and the usual R section characters. Most of the action takes place in Finland. And as in many of the novels Peter Devereaux is left a drift in a sea of intrigue. Alone he must wade through a mine field of traps, misinformation and double-crosses. If you like Tom Clancy, John Le Carre, Robert Ludlum, and/or Lee Child, you'll enjoy this novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Cold War era read. Not high action, but a well build plot.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2015
First Granger book I have read, and one of my first forays into this genre. I had to go back and check the copyright date (early 80s) to get the atmosphere correct. Fortunately I am old enough to remember the 80s and could easily get into the mindset of that era and the characters. It is certainly a cold-war novel so if you are too young, I can say that the book sets a proper mood for this politically dark and suspicious time before cell-phones, internet access to everything, and lackadaisical views on privacy. I'll probably read others in this series and will start with the first. Though I can't yet be certain (obviously) this book suggests that several characters are revealed earlier in the series but reading these were not necessary to the plot line. There are a number of key characters but Granger made it easy to track and distinguish them. The book read quick, offered a few twists, but certainly isn't a high-action novel. This was ok for me since I don't need video game-esque mental candy to keep me interested in a good plot line.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good representative of this type,
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2013

I find books like this to be good time-passers: the details of the stories make for interesting reading while the plots generally follow a tried and successful formula. This one is no exception to that rule. I sympathize with the authors, though, as it must be quite difficult to create new plot after new plot. The change of location provides a welcome relief from that burden and this one succeeds with that diversion better than some in the series. In the end, however, there is a good deal of bloody murder and November and his lady, the lovely Miss Macklin, both survive, and the bad 'uns are despatched to their just deserts.

5.0 out of 5 stars the return of rita macklin
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2006
in this 4th installment of the November Man series, November aka Deveroux is cooling out in Finland trying to see if a would-be Soviet defector is worth the trouble. After 7 weeks of freezing cold and no progress, the Russian brings up the name of a Tomas Crohan. It appears that this Crohan is a long missing Irish/CIA operative who disappeared near the end of WW2. Why is he important? While he is lost, so are his secrets, and British Intelligence, CIA, and Deveroux's own R Section would like to keep it that way. Enter Rita Macklin, the reporter who helped Deveroux trak down the Priest, Leo Tunney, in the 2nd November Man novel "Schism". Macklin is put onto the story of the missing Crohan by her magazines Publisher after his wife receives a letter from an Irish Priest mentioning his name. There are evil assassins and double agents and the grim Deveroux once again must make the no-win decisions that have made him an iconoclast of the genre. The sad romance angle of Macklin/Deveroux is especially poignant. Overall, a fine read and economical at 245 pages.

Bill Grainger wrote a terrific series of spy thrillers featuring Devereaux, code named November. The British Cross might be the best of the run.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining spy vs spy action
Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2016

Starts slowly but warms up into thrilling action involving three national spy agencies attempting to outfox each other. November is a plausible character as is his Section H handler and the newspaper reporter. Very readable even if a leap of faith is required to bring togther parts of the complex story, e.g. how the adversaries mange to track each other down so easily..

Very good, a twisting plot involving three intelligence agencies and an excellent description of a Scandinavian winter.
Easily able to image Brosnan in this role.
