Books
Part biography, part forensic jigsaw puzzle, part cold-case detective investigation, 'The Eagle in the Mirror' is the story of Charles Howard 'Dick' Ellis. The longest-serving spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Ellis helped set up the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), now known as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). This is not just a long-overdue biography of the unheralded Dick Ellis; it's a gripping real-life international whodunit.
