Escape: Confidential Agent (Graham Green)

Confidential Agent (Graham Green)

A man from a carefully unnamed nation now fighting the Nazis makes his way to the United Kingdom, where he hopes to buy industrial diamonds for the war effort. There he finds his enemies have preceded him and worse, he cannot be sure his British ally - a young woman he met on the way - is not also an enemy agent.

The protagonist is a pretty crappy spy but I suppose he had no training for it all.

Such as when the team returns to the homeland with a densely written, footnoted, and dryly unreadable report complete with diagrams and graphs reporting in detail on what the enemy nation was doing 1200 years ago, which does not cover anything that they're up to now.
