Description

'The British spy thriller at its unputdownable best' Observer
SELECTED FOR BBC 2 BETWEEN THE COVERS
________________________________
Nat, a veteran of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, thinks his years as an agent runner are over. But MI6 have other plans. To tackle the growing threat from Moscow Centre, Nat is put in charge of The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag band of spies. His weekly badminton session with the young, introspective, Brexit-hating Ed, offers respite from the new job. But it is Ed, of all unlikely people, who will take Nat down the path of political anger that will ensnare them all.

Another Le Carre masterpiece.

More top class prose from the master. Great storyline, dialogue full of humour and cutting wit.

Agent Running

On the basis of this one I suggest LeCarre has had his day. Silly comments about Brexit and Trump all of which are true just diminish the whole and turn the book into third rate emotional Guardian stereotypes. Pity.
I will not read his next but continue to enjoy his previous books.
