Helpful Score: 1

In a conventional sense this is a book about a double agent, however this is not a conventional book. Greene, much like LeCarre writes about the culture of the espionage community as a metaphor for the way we live today. His characters are rich multi-layered people who have hidden agendas, divided loyalties and in this particular work a profound sense of loneliness. Not as political as some of his other works but, more psychological. That said, due to his strong narrative style it becomes a quick yet emotionally satisfying read.
