This is a fun little romp through the espionage paranoid days of the cold-war. Using MI6 as the setting, and specifically the upper echelon suits that run the organization, we find ourselves on a hunt for a double agent. This is a remarkably straight forward drama with the off-the-record meets with the enemy, the spy coming in out of the cold, the civilian with privledged information, the five suspects and the known double agent who may be a triple agent. The pacing is good, the intrigue is thick, the investigation does not reveal too much too soon and the plot does not try to become too tangled. And it feels all rather ordinary. Good, not great.
