Game without rules

Description:

Short stories featuring two middle-aged, part-time assassins and a dog working for the British government in post war Europe. Although somewhat dated - a newly invented tracking device requires a receiver the size of a car seat, East Germany is a prime enemy - the stories are sardonically entertaining, twisty and surprisingly amoral.
