A espionage story set inside the African Department of MI6. Its a late Greene whose left leaning sympathies are as overt here as in any of his writing.
The end was always going to end in tears but despite our "hero's" reasons for a his treason he is a very unsympathetic character who deserves his fate.
The more Greene I read and re-read the more I come to appreciate him and now firmly believe he is one of the most under rated writers of the 20th century.
