Om avsnittet
What makes someone a good spy? And does the fiction writer, in many senses a professional liar, share the traits of a double agent?
Novelist and screenwriter William Boyd first explored the theme of espionage in his 2002 novel Any Human Heart and went on to pen a James Bond continuation novel called Solo.
His latest trilogy (Gabriel's Moon, The Predicament and Cold Sunset) explores what happens when a travel writer becomes entangled in Cold War Espionage.
