airdog reviewed The Secret Hours by Mick Herron
Even if you don't like spy stories read this one
5 stars
Even if it was only for the language. The way Herron sets the scene and looks at the world have no equivalents. English is not my native language but it seems to me that he pushes it to its limits to make it say something that normal usage cannot carry.
And for those who do like a spy story this is even better than Le Carre.
