Sleepers can kill

From kiwicrime dot blogspot dot com: " Members of a communist group meet once on an Italian beach as the war is ending and agree to stay inactive in the years ahead, until the call comes. Thus an espionage cell, "sleepers" is created, infiltrating New Zealand. Michael Connor is a discredited servant of New Zealand counter-espionage who is recalled as the sleeper cell comes violently awake, its puppet-masters finally pulling the strings. SLEEPERS CAN KILL is an exciting, complex and unusual espionage story, filled with murder and betrayal while offering something different in terms of a detailed New Zealand setting, strong characterisation, and a welcome sense of humour. Author Simon Jay breaks new ground for himself and adds to the espionage vogue by "discovering new spies and heroes in an authentic and unusual setting"."
