Wallenger (UK spy?) is in Turkey, heading for Greece. Ryan is with him.
Evru is a Turkish journalist. She and Ryan have been going out for 5 months. She's arrested. Borak Turance is a policeman.
London 3 weeks later: Tom Kell, ex-spy, 44, divorced, hears from his ex-boss Emelia (c.50) that Wollanger's Cessna blew up. SIS HQ didn't know why he was there, nor did his wife. He was a womaniser - Emelia was one of his secret lovers. She sends him over to investigate. He lost his job because of the "Witness A" incident - something he became the scapegoat for, to protect the government?
Wallenger's daughter Rachel, 31, is also a spy, but Kell doesn't know it. They sleep together in Turkey.
Tremane is one of the British workers in Turkey. Wallenger was the boss. Emelia offers the job to Kell. He realises that Emelia has told him the full sorry - the bomb that kill Wallenger was Iranian. She meets him in Turkey. Other informants have been killed. She thinks there's a mole - Mary Beck? Tremane? Cleckner (american)? Maybe the mole is killing to prevent being revealed. It's be embarassing if the mole's american. Kell finds where in Turkey the dead letter box is.
Ryan Clekner goes to London, he’s under heavy surveillance. Kell watches him sleep with his new girlfriend Rachel. Clekner meets his Russian handle Menasian. Clekner asks Menasian for explanations of murders. He says that Rachel is his girlfriend and shouldn’t be harmed. Emilia explains to Kell that Rachel only did it because Emilia told her that Chekner was involved with her father’s death.
Menasian and Clekner independently realise that Clekner has been exposed. From Istanbul he flees by ferry to Odessa. Clekner thinks it was a Russian error – he thinks he’s not made a mistake (he used elaborate counter-surveillance tactics), and that the British don’t use honeypots. He trusts Rachel. Kell decides that they shouldn't tell the US about Clekner. They arrive in Odessa, get Clekner and take him to a light aircraft. It lands, but not where he’d planned. Emilia is there. She’s decided to give Clekner to the Americans after a quick interview. Kell gets a call from Menasian saying that Rachel will die unless she’s exchanged for Clekner. Emelia finds out that she’s already dead. Later, the Americans kill Chekner.
I like his writing. He uses "thought to herself", though only once, I think.
