"If Ocean’s eleven and Fight Club hit you with a surprise ending, Spy Hunt in Dixie will punch you in the brains with the most twisted storytelling. Your mind will need serious defragmentation."


"The challenge of the decade. If you think you’ve figure out every mystery you’d ever read, then try Spy Hunt in Dixie. I’m sure you’d be greatly disappointed. Perhaps even after the 2nd read. Gladly, it’s only 130 pages long. You’ll have to read it a number of times before deciphering all its codes. Never enjoyed more a re-read."


"Whenever I read a new writer, and love his work, almost always he’s a reincarnation of a famous author. Max  Connelly, however, is from an entirely different galaxy. How could he write this impossibly tight plot? Already, I can’t wait to watch it on screen."

Spy Hunt in D.C.


His wrists were tied, so were his ankles. A gag wasn’t needed, the Colt ensured his silence.


His body, mouth and spirit were restrained, but his mind was far away from inhibition. He was trained to maintain a clear focused mind in the direst situations. Even more relevantly was the fact that the next few hours will determine his fate. Putting away thoughts that predicted of a bleak future, he had to concentrate on his exiguous options. He had to forget, for the time being, the plight that was befalling him; acerbity of recent defeat, the exhilarating journey on hand, and prospect of upcoming hours of contempt, inquisition, perhaps torture and eventually scandal and an infamous trial of treason. If all his expertise, knowledge and resilience were ever put to test, this was the ultimate moment.


He was locked, in the cargo compartment of a red Fordson E83W van, in the custody of two black escorts. Though in restraints, the two men never betrayed their duty of keeping an eye on the “devil in bonds”. The Canadian journalist, who set up the ambush, was sitting in the front passenger seat, periodically looking back on his prisoner, and checking on the vigilance of the escorts. Two hours onto Interstate I-20, the journalist finally offered food and drink to the prisoner; however, he just drank water. He was denied access to a W.C. in the station, and urged to fulfill his human needs at a deserted place, away from curious eyes. 


Of course, they had to sleep in the car, with two of the captors always on watch; one driving and one guarding.


“The British embassy in Washington D.C.” was the destination of this aggregation. That’s what the journalist announced, and he believed him alright. Obviously the Canadian had no allies, no one to trust, and eventually resorted to the orthodox, conventional way of doing things. The Canadian clearly understood that the prisoner’s people, the Corporation, were well into the British system. He couldn’t risk collaboration with individuals who’d prove to be compromised or under surveillance by the Corporation.


“I will deliver you, a traitor, a mole inside the British intelligence, to the ultimate British authority on American soil; the Embassy in DC. I think I can rely confidently on British bureaucracy to eligibly restrain you. Going through the gates of the Embassy, under sights of several witnesses, will ensure your conviction beyond doubt. No matter how influential are your people, they can never exert control over all people in that place.” The Canadian laughed mockingly. 


However, the prisoner sure hoped him wrong. He was scheming heavily, how to prove him so.

Kim Philby in the US


In September 1949, Kim Philby arrived in the United States. Officially, his post was that of First Secretary to the British Embassy; in reality, he served as chief British intelligence representative in Washington, D.C. His office oversaw a large amount of urgent and top-secret communications between the United States and London. Philby was, additionally, responsible for liaising with the newly-formed Central Intelligence Agency and promoting "more aggressive Anglo-American intelligence operations."

Cambridge Five


The Cambridge Five was a ring of spies, recruited in part by Russian talent spotter Arnold Deutsch in the United Kingdom, who passed information to the Soviet Union during World War II and at least into the early 1950s. Four members of the ring have been identified: Kim Philby (cryptonym: Stanley), Donald Duart Maclean (cryptonym: Homer), Guy Burgess (cryptonym: Hicks) and Anthony Blunt (cryptonym: Johnson); jointly they are known as the Cambridge Four.


Several people have been suspected of being the "fifth man" of the group; John Cairncross (cryptonym: Liszt) was identified as such by Oleg Gordievsky, though many others have also been accused of membership in the Cambridge ring.


The term Cambridge Five refers to the conversion of Philby, Burgess, Blunt, and Maclean to communism during their education at Cambridge University in the 1930s. Debate surrounds the exact timing of their recruitment by Soviet intelligence; Anthony Blunt claimed that they were not recruited as agents until they had graduated. Blunt, a Fellow of Trinity College, was several years older than Burgess, Maclean, and Philby; he acted as a talent-spotter and recruiter.


Both Blunt and Burgess were members of the Apostles, an exclusive and prestigious society based at Trinity and King's Colleges. John Cairncross, long suspected of having been the 'Fifth Man', and formally identified as a Soviet agent in 1990, was also an Apostle.


Other Apostles accused of having spied for the Soviets include Michael Whitney Straight, Victor Rothschild, research fellow Lewis Daly and Guy Liddell.
