Description
British intelligence is in a state of panic. Cracks are appearing, or so a run of disciplinary cases would suggest. To cap it all, Willa Karlsson, a retired MI5 officer collapses, the victim of what looks like a Russian poisoning.
Leonard Flood is ordered to investigate—quickly. Notorious for his sharp elbows and blunt manner, Leonard's only objective is to get the job done, whatever the cost. When Leonard discovers that he is also a suspect in the investigation and that Willa's story is less a story of betrayal than one of friendship and a deep sense of duty, he must decide whether to hand her to her masters or to help her to escape.
A wonderful, artful, absorbing espionage novel. - Adam Brookes, author of Night Heron
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The reviews praise The Man in the Corduroy Suit as a sophisticated, inventive spy novel with prose marked by sharpness and unexpected twists. Critics highlight its ability to maintain edgy discomfort while offering a nuanced exploration of the emotional ramifications of espionage. The character development, slower pace, and vivid depiction of the intelligence community's layers contribute to its standing as a compelling and intelligent entry in the genre.
