Description
A compelling slice of mid-century espionage that expertly blends history with possibility. Edward Wilson's novel is aptly compared to the works of John le Carré, and for good reason. In 1949, William Catesby returns to London in disgrace, accused of murder. His left-wing sympathies have made him a traitor in the eyes of the Americans. Henry Bone offers him a lifeline, sending him to Marseille to report on dockers' strikes and keep tabs on his errant wife. However, Catesby's cover story is a ruse, and he is actually demobbed from the service and tasked with researching a book on the Resistance. As Catesby navigates the treacherous landscape of Marseille, he finds himself caught in a deadly vice between the CIA and the mafia, who are colluding to fuel the war in Indochina. With his true purpose unclear, Catesby must use all his skills to survive. But which target is he really after?
