Subject: [PW] Book title of thriller novel about a Soviet scientist
whofakes his own death

Hello all,

I am trying to recall the title of a book I had read about 10 years ago.
Here is what I can remember of the plot:

A British government official (or spy?) meets a young girl (named
Peggy?) and soon they fall in love. He meets her father who is wealthy
and seems very intelligent. Soon afterwards, the father dies and certain
amazing secrets are unearthed during the investigation. The father is
revealed to have been a Soviet mathematician/scientist who faked his own
death and defected from the USSR to Britain around 30 years ago. His
basement contains an elaborate toy train system, which is later revealed
to have secret information hidden in the movements of the trains.
