{"product_id":"9780753560174","title":"Umbrella Murder","description":"London, September 1978: exiled Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov is murdered in broad daylight on Waterloo Bridge with a poison-tipped umbrella. It would become the most infamous unsolved killing of the Cold War.Many years later, young journalist Ulrik Skotte is approached with explosive new information about a man alleged to be responsible for Markov’s death – a spy code-named Piccadilly who worked for the Bulgarian secret service. This meeting launched Skotte into a hunt for the killer lasting more than a quarter of a century, bringing him face-to-face with eccentric conspiracy theorists, a washed-up former dictator, ageing Danish spooks – and, ultimately, with Agent Piccadilly himself.Drawing on an incredible cache of original documents, interviews and archive material, The Umbrella Murder provides jaw-dropping answers to questions that have persisted for nearly five decades: who killed Georgi Markov? And who has been protecting the assassin ever since?","brand":"Ulrik Skotte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50464368853310,"sku":"9780753560174","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780753560174.jpg?v=1745331511","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780753560174","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
