"... With this novel, the pomp and circumstance of Superspy are exploded to reveal the reality of international espionage. Manning O'Brine allows agents to be what they people who just want to live and let live--even if they have to kill to do it."--Dust Jacket.
Stumbled across this on a list of poorly-known spy thrillers. The recommendation was pure gold. An excellent read, reminiscent of Adam Hall and some of the attitude of Le Carre's characters without the Byzantine complexity.
