Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
In his most exhilarating novel yet, Britain’s greatest storyteller transports you from the vibrant streets of sixties London to the sun-soaked cobbles of Cadiz and the frosty squares of Warsaw, as an accidental spy is drawn into the shadows of espionage and obsession.
Gabriel Dax is a young man haunted by the memories of a tragedy: every night, when sleep finally comes, he dreams about his childhood home in flames. His days are spent on the move as an acclaimed travel writer, capturing the changing landscapes in the grip of the Cold War. When he’s offered the chance to interview a political figure, his ambition leads him unwittingly into a web of duplicities and betrayals.
As Gabriel’s reluctant initiation takes hold, he is drawn deeper into the shadows. Falling under the spell of Faith Green, an enigmatic and ruthless MI6 handler, he becomes ‘her spy’, unable to resist her demands. But amid the peril, paranoia and passion consuming Gabriel’s new covert life, it will be the revelations closer to home that change the rest of his story. . .
'Sheer, truly brilliant storytelling. He has probably written more classic books than any of his contemporaries’ Daily Telegraph
‘If it’s true escapism you’re after, William Boyd can always be relied upon to transport the reader from reality’ Vogue
'A master storyteller' Observer

Highly Enjoyable Spy Thriller
I love the writing of William Boyd and this is an excellent addition to his oeuvre. Protagonist Gabriel, a travel writer, becomes an 'accidental spy' in this multi - layered thriller with all the classic espionage elements of romance, travel, loyalty and betrayal. Of course it has echoes of Fleming and Le Carre but who better to carry the torch than Boyd (remember 'Solo'). Top entertainment and hugely satisfying.

Your Spy
Overall, this is an excellent listen. There are one or two unlikely scenarios and incidents that pass unexplained, but putting those aside (it may be my lack of understanding), there is a wonderfully developed plot and characters of depth and plausibility. It is a recommended book.

Stilted, boring, puerile
Sterile and boring. Repetitive, padded and irrelevant description.
Don't bother with this one, unless you're having difficulty sleeping.
