Synopsis

While this may sound like a work of FICTION, it isn't. Hollywood even made a movie out of his life, but they didn't know the whole story. It's a pretty exciting story...like a Communist James Bond...Otto was a communist spy for the USSR.

Review:

"This irresistible biography exposes a man by turns showy and shadowy . . . Miles conjures the spy-game atmospherics of the era wonderfully" * The Sunday Times * "Has all the hallmarks of a thrilling detective story as Katz sets about coordinating his hydra-headed fronts for Soviet propaganda and profit" * Metro * "A true-life action thriller" * Saga Magazine * "Miles uncovers the secret world of a secret agent" * Times * "A riveting new biography . . . a film really ought to be made of Katz's life, but who could possibly play such an outlandish character?" * Mail on Sunday *
