“Agent Running in the Field” is satisfyingly murky and labyrinthine, filled with wrong turns and dead ends

HEN JOHN LE CARRÉ’S

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mr le Carré’s stories have revolved around latter-day concerns—Russian money-laundering in “Single & Single” , big pharma in “The Constant Gardener” and extraordinary rendition in “A Most Wanted Man” .

After years spent handling secret agents overseas Nat has returned to London to take charge of “the Haven”, an “outstation” of the Russia department that doubles as “a dumping ground for resettled defectors of nil value and fifth-rate informants on the skids”. With Florence, his number two, Nat throws himself into Operation Rosebud, which involves the surveillance of a London-based Ukrainian oligarch with links to Russian intelligence.
