The pacing of this story is good, making the novel a nice read for your next trip stuck somewhere for a few hours. I would have liked the characters to have been  a bitless dynamic, but they do convince reasonably well. The story of Thomas Gunn looking back at past events and figuring out the role of his father in the plot, and uncovering the larger stakes really at play here, is the most compelling  piece. There's a lot to like here.  The plot moves swiftly, and I read furiously, wanting to know what happens next. When Clarke reaches the emotional depth of Le Carre , he will stand even taller along the great thriller writers of this genre.
