“London Contact”

 By Victor Ostrovsky

London has always been a haven for spies, as they can blend in with the multicultural fabric which is the remnants of a once great empire. Mr. Ostrovsky accentuates the spy’s presence by giving his characters hats that cover their identities and scarves that represent the proverbial bureaucratic “red tape” of the espionage business. Victor gives us a glimpse of the West End theatre district and has tied in personal references on the signage; “Black Ghosts” is the title of his latest novel, and the license on the front vehicle shows Victor’s military identification number. Mr. Ostrovsky says that, “London Contact is something that spies look forward to, no matter what side they are on.”
