Our unworldly lockdown was an interesting time to re-read this bleak story of a British intelligence officer seemingly at the end of his service in the Cold War. It's an excellent thriller, stark and compelling. No James Bond glamour here, it's a bleak and friendless World and chills appropriately as you try and work out the truth and where danger really lies in surreal circumstances.
