The Human Factor...Graham Green

This has been my first book by this author. Came to know about this author from some books community on net so thought will give it a try.

The protagonist in this book is a double agent, now that is something which becomes clear half way through the book. The story is a simple one in which he is passing on secrets & the people in this department are looking for the person who is leaking information. And this person is mostly concerned about is wife & kid. However after commiting the final information leak he has to escape to another country & now is waiting for his family to join him etc etc.

There is not much of suspense in the story considering that it supposingly a "spy" novel, but somehow the way the author has written it, makes a good read. I enjoyed reading the book even though it seems a very simple story. And so I have picked up another book "Brighton Rock" by same author :)
