AN ACCIDENTAL SPY. A WEB OF BETRAYALS. A MYSTERY THAT WILL TAKE YOU AROUND THE WORLD . . .
Gabriel Dax is a young man haunted by the memories of a tragedy: every night, when sleep finally comes, he dreams about his childhood home in flames. His days are spent on the move as an acclaimed travel writer, capturing changing landscapes in the grip of the Cold War. When he's offered the chance to interview a political figure, his ambition leads him unwittingly into the shadows of espionage.
As Gabriel's reluctant initiation takes hold, he is drawn deeper into duplicity. Falling under the spell of Faith Green, an enigmatic and ruthless MI6 handler, he becomes 'her spy', unable to resist her demands. But amid the peril, paranoia and passion consuming Gabriel's new covert life, it will be the revelations closer to home that change the rest of his story . . .

still MOONing over this perfect read
What started as a simple interview with the new president of the Congo, set rolling the the complications in Gabriel's life and now he finds himself working as a spy for the MI6. Gabriel Dax (normally) works as a travel writer, but as soon as he sets foot on his first mission, he feels himself drawn towards his accidental spy life (and his enigmatic boss Faith Green). William Boyd is a storytelling genius! This story is full of Cold War fears, 60's flair and a gripping romance. I really enjoy reading his books so much and now I'm unquestionably considering a spy life for myself.
