The story of "Pack of Lies" relates to husband and wife Bill and Ruth Search, and their daughter Gay (who is now a well-known TV and newspaper journalist in the UK). The Searches lived across the road from Peter and Helen Kroger, who had rented a bungalow at 45 Cranley Drive in Ruislip, England.
When they were arrested in January 1961, it was revealed that the Krogers weren't who they appeared to be - they were actually Morris and Lona Cohen, a pair of spies, who worked with fellow spy Gordon Lonsdale in the 1950's and 1960s, photographing and encoding as microdots various pieces of material which they then sent to their colleagues in Russia.
"Pack of Lies" is the story of the tragic effect that Soviet spy Lona Cohen had on an innocent lady who thought she'd found a friend.
