About the Book
Dai Morgan spends most of his career working for the UK Immigration Service.
As a youngster he was an accomplished chess player and won a Welsh junior championship at the age of twelve and nearly won a British junior championship at the age of fifteen. Thereafter he dropped out of the chess world and concentrated getting on with his life.
His chess exploits attracted the attention of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), which eventually recruited him to do some dangerous and risky spying into the nuclear proliferation aspirations of India, Pakistan and Iran.
Dai learned to cope with the trials and tribulations of an intermittent double-life by dint of good preparation, black humour and not a little Scotch whisky.
