Graham Greene

Graham Greene was an English novelist and author, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene had acquired a reputation early in his own lifetime as a great writer, both of serious Catholic novels and of thrillers (or "entertainments " as he termed them). Through 67 years of writings which included over 25 novels, he explored the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world through a Catholic perspective.

'A superb storyteller ... he had a talent for depicting local colour, a keen sense of the dramatic, and eye for dialogue, and skill in pacing his prose.'
The New York Times

'The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists, rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings ... the tragic and comic ironies of love, loyalty and belief.'
The Times

The tale of a hunted man on a mysterious mission for a government that doesn’t trust him, told with Greene’s customary skill and style.

In a small continental country civil war is raging. Once a lecturer in medieval French, now a confidential agent, D is a scarred stranger in a seemingly casual England, sent on a mission to buy coal at any price. Initially, this seems to be a matter of straightforward negotiation, but soon, implicated in murder, accused of possessing false documents and theft, held responsible for the death of a young woman, D becomes a hunted man, tormented by allegiances, doubts and the love of others.
