Review

"Jaime Deza, separated from his wife in Madrid, is a bit adrift in London until his old friend Sir Peter Wheeler - retired Oxford don and semi-retired master spy - recruits him for a new career in British Intelligence. Deza possesses a rare gift for seeing behind the masks people wear. He is soon observing interviews conducted by Her Majesty's secret service: he studies variously shady international businessmen one day, would-be coup leaders the next. Seductively, even as it delves into the nature of love and marriage, this metaphysical thriller explores the past (the Spanish Civil War), the present (curious British mores and habits), and the future (the ever-more-perilous 21st century)."--Jacket
