1960s Hungary. The Cold War is at its height. Bertalan Lazar is Budapest cop trying to do his job in a corrupt world; his wife Franciska is his ally and closest friend.
My BBC Radio Series KEEPING THE WOLF OUT is now available for download at Audible – four series in all, from the earliest days when Franciska was just a secretary at a Ministry which doesn’t officially exist, all the way to the mid 1960s when she is a spymaster and a force to be reckoned with.
Starring Leo Bill as Bertalan Lazar, Clare Corbett as Franciska Lazar and Andy Linden as Tibor Farkas.
These are dark complex compelling stories of crime and espionage at a time when those living in the East feared the West as much as WE feared them.
NOTE ABOUT THE AMAZON PAGE: Start with the guy in the trench coat, episodes 1 to 5 (series 1 and 2), but note they are in the wrong order on the Amazon page; then series 3 and 4 are in a box set with the red cover.
Series 5, the last in this series, is coming soon!

The BBC seems to have some of these episodes missing and some out of order – can you provide an episode list in order? Thanks
Howdy! After energetically nail biting and edge of seating for several series of Wolf, how about having a Cold War Conversation with Ian Saunders about writing with brilliant skill from the other side of the Iron Curtain looking out?
Thanks for Bertalan, Franciska and especially Tibor.
That’s a great suggestion – I’ll follow up. So delighted you enjoyed the dark stories!
