This is a 1970s different sort of spy book. The story is in England & the main character had spent time in the field as a sort of spy for England in South Africa. While there he falls in love and has to coordinate a way to get his black lover out of the country and to England & he does this. He is reassigned to a desk looking at incoming messages from field ops and other things passed along. He is also passing things to the USSR because the communists helped in getting his wife out of S Africa but this wasn't clear at first. There is an internal probe into these leaks and this is where some action starts happening. A different time with no computers, cell phones, etc. Lots of drinking and eating at clubs. A good read that brings you back in time.
There were already 10 copies in system but I still went ahead and posted it, probably going nowhere but figure can leave on bookshelf for now & can always pull and give away if need room.
