Magnus Pym has disappeared, setting off a massive man-hunt. One of Britain's top intelligence agents, Pym is also searching for his true identity, hidden beneath a lifetime of deception. His quest takes him from his relationship with his con-man father to his betrayal of everything close to him – his wife, his country, even the high-ranking Czech agent whom he befriended. Pursued by his agency and his enemies, Pym must find himself before his hunters find him.
As a young man, Magnus Pym's father Rick was the most influential character in his life. Rick was a raconteur, con-man, thief and black marketeer. From a young age Magnus was included in Rick's schemes, learning how to survive by deceit and lies, but also learning about responsibilities towards those you love. When a university student in Switzerland, Magnus meets the other person who will have the greatest influence in his life, Axel, a Czech refugee. As Magnus enters his career in the British Secret Service, his relationship with Axel and the values he developed in childhood will lead him down his own tragic path of betrayal and loyalty.
Part spy thriller, part mystery, part psychological suspense story, but foremost a love story. A stunning and exquisitely transformed adapation of le Carré's most intriguing and absorbing masterpiece.
