The Endless Game is the first of a two-book series (the second is:  A Spy at Twilight) in the vein of the Le Carre "Karla" quartet. Mr. Forbes also played his part in that "game" and writes with  considerable authority. The book is well-crafted and grips you as you work  through the developing enigma and misleading clues with the protagonist. The characters are complex and believable, the plot consistent and the  outcome unguessable until the last pages. Altogether, a most satisfying  read for lovers of spy fiction
