Story
When disgraced spy Solomon Vine's friend and rival Gabriel Wilde vanishes without trace, it's only Vine who might be able to discover what has happened to him. A single missing file holds the key. That, too, is gone. But its contents, Vine is told, are incendiary. There were few Wilde could trust. And being one of them appears to have fatal consequences. But as Vine's off-the-books investigation begins to reveal the shocking truth, he realizes there's much more at stake than one man's life.

Thrilling details.
I got this on recommendation of a friend and it has not disappointed the narrator does a wonderful job with accents. The details of cities places and spots. The intricate details of accounts are wonderfully described.
An enjoyable espionage

Unusually good, suspenseful and believable.
A remarkable first novel well written and professionally narrated. I can’t wait for the second in the trilogy. Wolff says that he worked for the British government, but surely this is an understatement. Could Wolff be the modern day Le Carre? Let’s hope so.
