Synopsis

Who was Major Kavan Elliott, womaniser, wartime saboteur, rogue and peacetime spy? Behind an ostensibly respectable business cover his nomadic life entangled him in a web of deception, beautiful women, Communist double agents and interrogation at the hands of the Gestapo and the Hungarian secret police. This is the extraordinary, authentic story of the quest undertaken by Kavan Elliott's son - the author, Geoffrey Elliott - for the truth about his remarkable father. His search takes him from the torture chambers of Budapest to the classified archives of the British Secret Intelligence Service and reveals an astonishing tale of espionage, betrayal, romance and double-dealing, a trail that led from suburban Croydon to Tsarist Siberia.
