On October 19, 1942 President Franklin D Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. This gave Secretary of State Henry L Stimson authority to relocate Japanese Americans away from important military installations along the West Coast into internment camps. There existed great fear of spies lurking in this community just as there had been in Hawaii prior to the heinous attack on Pearl Harbor. The uncovering of these spies and their networks became matters of the highest priority for American security organizations. They were granted previously unheard of latitude in pursuit of this mission. A twenty year old student of Oriental Studies was unceremoniously snatched from his college to aid this mission. His strident protests were waved aside under the guise of National Security. He was informed his knowledge of the Japanese language was the principal reason for commandeering his services.

Rendezvous at the Russian Tea Rooms provides the first comprehensive account of what was once hailed by a leading American newspaper as the greatest spy story of World War II. This dramatic yet little-known saga, replete with telephone taps, kidnappings, and police surveillance, centres on the furtive escapades of Tyler Kent, a handsome, womanising 28-year-old Ivy League graduate, who doubles as a US Embassy code clerk and Soviet agent. Against the backdrop of London high society during the so-called Phoney War, Kent's life intersects with the lives of the book's two other memorably flamboyant protagonists. One of those is Maxwell Knight, an urbane, endearingly eccentric MI5 spyhunter. The other is Anna Wolkoff, a White Russian fashion designer and Nazi spy whose outfits are worn by the Duchess of Windsor and whose parents are friends of the British royal family. Wolkoff belongs to a fascist secret society called the Right Club, which aims to overthrow the British government. Her romantic entanglement with Tyler Kent gives her access to a secret correspondence between President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, a correspondence that has the potential to transform the outcome of the war.
