"Oh, and by the way, can anyone here tell me what Jericho's about? I know it's password-protected and never to be discussed, and I haven't been cleared for it. But neither was Maria, neither was Gamma and neither presumably is Moscow center."
John Le Carre's Agent Running in the Field is a tale of British spies, Brexit, and uncertain treason. Brexit is an apt topic for the novelist who, for more than a half-century, has mastered the art of espionage fiction. An unashamed member of the British center-left intelligentsia, Le Carre allows his own opposition to Brexit to seep through onto his pages. But that doesn't make this a Remainer-only read.
