William Boyd is a fantastic stoy teller as well as a writers writer. No matter what he undertakes he seems to be able to put it off. Here once again he is able to take on the personna of a women and do it well, this is part espionage , part thriller and untimatley a winner for Boyd. I have read all of his books and was not disappointed by this one. You will be up late at night turning the pages of this literary thriller.
