Peter Guillam is a retired British Secret Service agent who is suddenly called to his old organization in the middle of an investigation into a case he handled during the Cold War. Interesting novel, a little complex, about the consequences of acts of espionage with their collateral damage, which cannot be judged out of context. The issue of the intelligence services, which always act outside the law, as well as the actions of the secret services in the service of a cause, where the end almost always justifies the means, is very slippery.
