Game Without Rules
Mr. Calder lives with a golden deerhound named Rasselas. Mr. Behrens keeps bees. No one would suspect the pair are in fact agents and often tasked with jobs that no one else can take on. They are dangerous. Their adventures in this series of thrillers show the author to have a clear grasp of counterintelligence operations.
Game Without Rules features two secret agents living in the English countryside who try—and fail—to live a quiet life in these hugely enjoyable crime stories.
Behrens and Calder are two secret agents residing in the peaceful English countryside, desperately seeking a quiet life. However, despite their best efforts, they find themselves repeatedly obliged to confront and eliminate a host of brutal and ingenious traitors, Soviet spies, and old Nazis.
