Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Wormold is a vacuum cleaner salesman in a city of power cuts. His adolescent daughter spends his money with a skill that amazes him, so when a mysterious Englishman offers him an extra income he's tempted. In return all he has to do is carry out a little espionage and file a few reports. But when his fake reports start coming true, things suddenly get more complicated and Havana becomes a threatening place.

©1962 Graham Greene (P)2020 Penguin Audio

What the critics say

Well done in every particular.

Perfectly understated performance of one of Greene's lighter works. Recommended for those who enjoy Le Carre or anyone who likes well-written fiction.

Brilliant cold war satire

An extended satire, at its best is both believable and absurd; and here Greene once again find the absurdity underlying the Cold War mentality.
Also well narrated.
