FRAMED BY M.I.5.

Hardback. INSC, AND SIGNED. Framed for murder in 1969 and freed by Royal Pardon 7yrs later, Patrick Meehan sets out to establish his long held claim that he was framed on the orders of the British Security Service. The frame-up was linked to his escape from an English prison to East Berlin in 1963 and the subsequent 'springing' of the Soviet spy George Blake from a London prison in 1966. The author accuses politicians of protecting senior detectives guilty of perverting justice and convincingly demonstrates that the report of a government inquiry into the case (The Hunter Report) effectively deceived Parliament and the public. Illus. + Postscript. 273pp. small 8vo. h/back. PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY PATRICK MEEHAN. F. Pictorial glazed covers, dw. not required.
