El cuarto protocolo

Fog-soft English lanes, autumn. A radiator hisses in a bedsit. A dormant briefcase slides into town on a bicycle wheel, a fuse ticking inside. One man chases its shadow, another turns screwdrivers on plutonium. John le Carré adapted by a director who prefers quiet menace to fireworks.
