Membership is informal. Discretion is not.
In this on-location series, Angus Blair and David Ludlow take you inside the real rooms where espionage history was made — the corner tables, hotel suites, smoky clubs and quiet side streets where spies exchanged envelopes and empires quietly shifted.
These are not fictional thrillers. These are the real stories of charming traitors, elegant double agents and the cities that made them.
New city. New spy. Same bad behaviour.
