by Graham Greene

A British intelligence officer is caught in a security investigation after a leak regarding South Africa is discovered in his department. While suspicion falls on a colleague, the breach is tied to the officer's prioritisation of personal loyalty over professional duty.

brief_description
A leak is traced to a small sub-section of S I S, 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 it is time to retire to live peacefully with his African wife, Sarah. To the lonely, isolated, neurotic world of the Secret Service Graham Green bring his brilliance and perception, laying bare a machine that sometimes overlooks the subtle and secret motivations that impel us all. -- Back cover.
