'This masterly investigation spanning 30 years into the assassination of a cold war dissident Georgi Markov in London in 1978 exposes an assassin worthy of James Bond' - Observer Book of the Week London September 1978: exiled Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov is murdered in broad daylight on Waterloo Bridge with what appears to be 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?
