‘Graham Greene's beautiful and disturbing novel is filled with tenderness, humour, excitement and doubt’ The Times
A leak is traced to a small sub-section of the secret service, sparking off the inevitable security checks, tensions and suspicions. The sort of atmosphere, perhaps, where mistakes could be made? For Maurice Castle, it is the end of the line anyway, and time for him to retire to live peacefully with his wife and child. But no-one escapes so easily from the lonely, isolated, neurotic world of the SIS.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY COLM TÓIBÍN
With a new introduction by Colm Toibin
A leak is traced to a small sub-section of SIS, sparking off the inevitable security checks, tensions and suspicions. The sort of atmosphere, perhaps, where mistakes could be made? For Maurice Castle, it is the end of the line anyway, and time for him to retire to live peacefully with his African wife, Sarah.
To the lonely, isolated, neurotic world of the Secret Service, Graham Greene brings his brilliance and perception, laying bare a machine that sometimes overlooks the subtle and secret motivations that impel us.

Etat : Bueno. : En el mundo discreto pero traicionero de "la firma", Maurice Castle realiza tareas rutinarias de inteligencia que son menos que trascendentales. Entonces, un nuevo jefe de seguridad, "una escoba", es nombrado. A medida que barre el departamento, descubre una fuga, una traición sistemática que involucra a las principales potencias de Sudáfrica. El asociado de Castle, Davis, tenía acceso a los archivos en cuestión y su forma de beber, su afición al juego y su incurable romanticismo lo convierten en un probable agente doble. El propio Castle está por encima de toda sospecha; siempre había tenido mucho cuidado. Excepto cuando se enamoró.
