Tim Spicer: A Suspicion of Spies

Join us for an evening with Lieutenant Colonel Tim Spicer OBE to talk about A Suspicion of Spies, the compelling first biography of Wilfred ‘Biffy’ Dunderdale – a ruthless and effective spymaster whose career spanned the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and beyond.

A Suspicion of Spies is filled with stories of adventure, bravery, and glamour, revealing the complicated intrigues of the world of British intelligence. A lifelong friend of Ian Fleming, Biffy is considered to be the blueprint for James Bond.

Biffy appears in over 60 books and websites and yet no one has ever written the story of his life. As Tim Spicer says, ‘He was rather like a ghost one knew was there but the apparition never stood still long enough for a clear view.’
