Charlie M
aka Charlie Muffin
Written by Brian Freemantle
Copyright: 1977
When the new bunch running the Service need a sacrificial lamb to slaughter, Charlie Muffin looked the perfect choice. But one thing Charlie Muffin has always known what to do is how to be a survivor. This is an awesome book that, IMHO, has gotten nothing of the attention it so very much deserves. I recommend it as highly as I know how!
