I wanted to like this novel, but even for a spy novel, it has far too many coincidences that don't add up. A gorgeous young actress shows up at a book launch by the middle-aged main character (Sam), falls in bed with him within 5, I repeat, 5 minutes , and then gives him explosive, priceless Cold War secrets. Really? Really? And then as Sam explores some leads, everyone he talks to is killed (he misses being killed by seconds every time), and yet he keeps on exposing others to the same fate without remorse. Good premise, terrible execution.
