Unmistakably authentic
He is certainly the most skilled narrator of what goes on behind the scenes of the undercover spy world, and - what is so splendid and welcome - he does it all with a superb economy of words.
The most consistently inventive of our novelists of espionage, the one that other thriller writers point to as the finest craftsman among them.
No one since le Carré has mapped the lonely lunar landscape of espionage better than Allbeury.
