THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Le Carre delivers a tale for our times
. . . a demonstration of the British spy thriller at its
unputdownable best' Robert McCrum, Observer
________________________________ Nat, a 47 year-old veteran of
Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, believes his years as an
agent runner are over. He is back in London with his wife, the
long-suffering Prue. But with the growing threat from Moscow
Centre, the office has one more job for him. Nat is to take over
The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag
band of spies. The only bright light on the team is young Florence,
who has her eye on Russia Department and a Ukrainian oligarch with
a finger in the Russia pie. Nat is not only a spy, he is a
passionate badminton player. His regular Monday evening opponent is
half his age: the introspective and solitary Ed. Ed hates Brexit,
hates Trump and hates his job at some soulless media agency. And it
is Ed, of all unlikely people, who will take Prue, Florence and Nat
himself down the path of political anger that will ensnare them
all. Agent Running in the Field is a chilling portrait of our time,
now heartbreaking, now darkly humorous, told to us with unflagging
tension by the greatest chronicler of our age.
