Avenue of the Dead by Evelyn Anthony

The accusations of the drunken wife of a British-born American presidential advisor puts MI6 agent Davina Graham on the trail of the Plumed Serpent, a trail that leads from Moscow, through Washington's inner circles, to a small town in Mexico.

The Teaser:

"If she's right," Davina said after a pause, "then Tatischev is running Fleming. He must be, he's at such a high level. She cold be in danger if she's found him out and they know she's talked." (p. 26)
