Another wonderful book in the Milo Weaver series by Steinhauer, the only person who seems to be able to write the spy stuff as well as Le Carre. This latest book is set in present time. The Department of Tourism is no more but welcome The Library. Staffed with Reference Librarians and headed by Weaver, they are collecting intelligence for their patrons and keeping it flowing. If there was a better use for the library jargon, I can't think of it. In the new world order, lots of terrible things are happening but no one sees a connection. Leave it to Weaver to stumble upon more and more before realizing the one line that runs through many events. This book is as exciting as any thriller and the intricate plot keeps you on your toes. Steinhauer has created such an interesting spy ecosystem, I hope the title isn't a hint that this is actually the last in this series.
