Interesting format for an espionage novel. Henry Pelham and Celia Favreau were working for the CIA and became lovers while stationed in Vienna. Then, a tragic hijacking at the Vienna airport goes terribly wrong, and Celia leaves the service and moves to Carmel, California.
The entire book is set over a dinner meeting between Henry and Celia five years later, as Henry tries to figure out if there was a CIA-security leak that led to the botched mission. Lots of flashbacks. Enjoyed it.

Loved this book, found it fascinating. Unusual premise and good story. Less an action plot, more of a psychological one. Different and for me a surprising ending. I found this to be a "thinking man's" page turner.
