In 1990 this was bang up to date, even though it was published in the 1970s. Now it seems as dated as flares and tie-dye shirts. Such are the tides of history, but it does allow the reader to discover possibly Greene's best written and most exciting thriller, independent of the liberation theology which he modishly brought to the story. (Kirkus UK)
A leak is traced to a small sub-section of SIS, sparking off the inevitable security checks, tensions and suspicions. The sort of atmosphere, perhaps, where mistakes could be made? For Maurice Castle - dull, but brilliant with files - it is the end of the line anyway, and time for him to retire to live peacefully with his African wife, Sarah. To the lonely, isolated, neurotic world of the Secret Service Graham Greene brings his brilliance and perception, laying bare that sometimes overlooks the subtle and secret motivations that impel us all.
