The Confidential Agent
AI Translation Notice: This review was translated from the original Italian using artificial intelligence. Book quotes and excerpts are translated interpretations and will not match the author's original English phrasing or official published translations.
The novel is set in England, where a secret agent must negotiate the purchase of coal for his country at war.
The book is dull, perhaps because it is not so different from Greene’s other adventure novels, and in any case it lacks the irony and narrative pace of Our Man in Havana.
