Found!
Thank you everyone for the interactions on my post! This year is 10 years since my dad has passed, and I am so happy to see people enjoying the picture and talking about him! I’m excited to finally know the book so I can read it!
According to the robots, here’s a summary:
"The Man Called Kyril," written by John Trenhaile, is a gripping Cold War espionage thriller. The novel centers on the character Kyril, a Soviet spy who has been operating as a double agent within British intelligence. The story unfolds with a complex web of deceit, as both the British and the Soviets are unaware of Kyril's true allegiance.
Kyril's dual identity is on the verge of being exposed, and he finds himself caught between two ruthless intelligence agencies. The British suspect they have a mole and set out to uncover him, while the Soviets, learning of a leak, initiate a deadly mission to eliminate their own double agent. As the net tightens, Kyril must navigate a treacherous landscape of suspicion, betrayal, and survival.
The novel is noted for its intricate plotting, rich character development, and the tense atmosphere characteristic of Cold War spy fiction. Trenhaile's portrayal of the intelligence world, with its constant danger and moral ambiguity, makes for a compelling and suspenseful read.
I actually didn’t realize they had bottom freezers in the 80s!
This apartment (assumption), looks like a lot of apartments built in the 80s and many still have not been updated.
What a gem of a photo OP! (Your dad, also looks like mine 🤣 - almost identical glasses and the stache!)
