THE CHAMELEON COURSE
By
Alexandrei Petrovitch Geria, a top Soviet nuclear physicist, becomes a changed man after secretly defecting to Britain with a new face and new identity. Incredible as it may seem, the jittery scientist is later charged with manslaughter, tried at the Old Bailey, and exposed after shooting a cat burglar he mistakes for a KGB assassin. Slow and stuffy--it doesn't even change its color.
