Book Synopsis
This critical work seeks to distinguish British espionage fiction based on its unique narrative form, which is typically elliptical, oblique and recursive. Featured works include eighteen novels by Eric Ambler, Graham Greene, Len Deighton, John le Carre, Stella Rimington, and Charles Cumming, most of which exemplify the existential or serious spy thriller.
