Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Michelet, Jon: Mellom barken og veden

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE deals with superpower spy games in Norway, a clash between the CIA and the KGB, where Norway is not alone in getting caught between a rock and a hard place. In this struggle an old veteran from the Spanish civil war and sailor during WW2, Ivan Mathiesen, also gets stuck.

“It is with great joy I welcome BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE, Jon Michelet’s second book … Jon Michelet has among other things understood how to follow a few elementary rules of the genre he has chosen. Whatever one feels about his political message, he has created a plot with pace and flow and suspense.”
