Your name is Quiller. You are the hero of an extraordinary novel which takes the reader in its grasp and won't let go until the last page, which shows how a spy works, how messages are coded and decoded, how contacts are made, how a man reacts under the influence of truth drugs—and which traces the story of a vastly complex, entertaining, sinister and convincing plot.
The Quiller Memorandum is a taut and masterly tale of espionage, in the tradition of such classics as The Spy Who Came In from the Cold.
