An extraordinary, true life tale of the Cold War that could have come straight from the pages of a John le Carr novel. Willie Fisher's parents were revolutionaries who had fled Russia in 1901, settling in Newcastle, and then Whitley Bay, where Willie was brought up to share the family ideology. Leaving England for the newly formed Soviet Union in 1921, Willie began an extraordinary career as a spy... Tracing Willie's story from the most unlikely of beginnings in Newcastle, to Moscow, New York and back again, 'The Geordie Spy' is a singular and absorbing true story of Cold War espionage to rival anything in fiction.
