Un hombre decente

Nat, a forty-seven-year veteran of the British secret services, believes his time at the agency is over and he has returned to London with his wife, the resigned Prue. But there is a growing threat from Moscow, and the Bureau has another mission for him: taking over a London substation with a disorganized group of agents. The only glimmer of light on the team is young Florence, who has her sights set on the Russia Department and a Ukrainian oligarch involved in dubious deals. In addition to being a spy, Nat is a passionate badminton player. His regular Monday afternoon opponent is half his age: he's the introspective and lonely Ed, who hates Brexit, hates Trump and hates his job at an impersonal media agency. And, unlikely as it may seem, it is Ed who will drag Prue, Florence and Nat himself down the path of political outrage in which they will all end up trapped.
