Box 88  - Charles Cumming (400 pages)

BOX 88 by Charles Cumming introduces Lachlan Kite, a spy recruited into a secret Anglo-American intelligence organization while still a young man. Moving between 1989 and the present, the novel follows Kite’s first mission in France and the consequences that return decades later. With its dual timelines, covert networks, and personal betrayals, BOX 88 is a polished modern spy thriller about memory, loyalty, and the long afterlife of intelligence work.

A sharp transatlantic spy thriller where a first mission refuses to stay in the past.
