What is worthwhile about this Mick Herron book is that Herron writes so well of the human foibles that play such an important role in the lives of even faithful, honorable and just civil servants. The fragility of life is so apparent, even in the lives of men and women who lead such important lives in government, in the service of their fellow citizens and their nations.

This book is cool but relies on 20th Century kind of stuff for a plot, I think. The whole concept is about the BND kind of doing an "Operation Mincemeat" against MI-5. For an American audience, that's the thing: we think it's all innocent stuff because the plot involves BND penetration of UK's MI-5, but, in fact, the US audience is the target.
