The final part of the Nazi escapees and the collaborators that helped them. This book takes aim at the Swiss banking system, flush with Jewish gold, and the ways in which war criminals were helped and ensconced into high finance society post-WW-II. Again, I think this trilogy leads back to the original book I read by Silva (the most recent, it turns out).
Silva’s writing definitely seems to be maturing as he goes along, and the characters get to be more human with every book. This is a writer still coming into his own; and while the trade craft might not yet be up to Smiley’s standards, it is not very far off.
