A Spy Alone
by Charles Beaumont
A Spy Alone by Charles Beaumont is a really fun spy novel by a British ex-spy. Particularly if you know people who like to gossip about Britain's intelligence services, parts of the story told in the book won't come as a complete surprise, but it's told with panache and humour. You're left with a lingering sense of unease that fact and fiction are closer together than you'd like them to be.
