About the Book

The "witty, charming, and courageous" CIA agent hunts for a mole inside MI6 in this New York Times-bestselling Cold War thriller series (Publishers Weekly). Albania may be a small nation, but it's about to become the front line of the Cold War. In hopes of toppling the brutal Communist regime that controls the country, the British intelligence service has handpicked an elite group of Albanian freedom fighters to be molded into commandos by Blackford Oakes, the CIA's all-purpose warrior. With the help of MI6's most ruthless clandestine agent, Oakes is charged with turning the Albanians into a team of guerillas who will parachute back into their homeland to fight the good fight--and together, die. When the Albanian mission ends in disaster, however, Oakes smells a rat inside MI6, and he begins a hunt for the most notorious mole in the history of espionage. High Jinx is the 7th book in the Blackford Oakes Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

About the Author :
William F. Buckley Jr. (1925-2008) was an author and political commentator. In 1955, he founded the influential conservative magazine National Review. Buckley also hosted the popular television show Firing Line and wrote a twice-weekly syndicated newspaper column. He is the author of more than fifty books, including titles on history, politics, and sailing, as well as a series of spy novels featuring CIA agent Blackford Oakes.

Review :
"With considerable relish and fluent wit, Buckley stirs a plot involving the treasonous activities of Britain's leading scientist and the Soviet-bred daughter of an American journalist." --Time "A high good time." --The Plain Dealer Praise for the Blackford Oakes Mysteries "Remarkably complex, compelling and literate." --The New York Times on Mongoose, R.I.P. "Cuts closer to the bone than le Carré has ever cut." --The New Republic on Stained Glass "The suspense is keen and complicated." --The Wall Street Journal on Who's on First "Tense, chilling, unflaggingly lively . . . A romp and something more." --The Wall Street Journal on Tucker's Last Stand "Buckley brings us face to face with possibilities lurking behind our real headlines." --San Francisco Chronicle on See You Later, Alligator "Some of the best spy fictions in print." --UPI.com "Each novel crackles with ideas. . . . Mr. Buckley asks 'What if, ' . . . which is very easy, and manages meanwhile to keep us absorbed, which is very hard." --The New York Times "No other author could have written the novels in exactly the same manner, with the same subtleties and acuteness of observation and authority and wit. And, by all means, the style. It's all pure Buckley and very stylish indeed." --The San Diego Union-Tribune Praise for William F. Buckley Jr. "Buckley has a genuine talent for fiction." --John Kenneth Galbraith, author of American Capitalism "Buckley's main purpose is to entertain; he's erudite and stylish and witty and sly." --The Village Voice

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
