Set in post Battle of Britain, a widow is playing house with an apparent traitor. She is also besought by his pursuer. Sound interesting? Well......, maybe not. This seems to be the entire plot, but it is more about relationships than spying. As for other characters she has a son in the Army who inherits from an uncle a castle in Ireland while his wife bides her time in an "institution." Traitor has a dysfunctional family. The G-man at the onset, meets another Army wife who keeps popping into the novel, to what ultimate purpose I have not discovered.
