Book description
Anthony Farrant has always found his way, lying to get jobs and
borrowing money to get by when he leaves them in a hurry. His twin
sister Kate persuades him to move and sets him up with a job as
bodyguard to Krogh, her lover and boss, an all-powerful Swedish
financier. But Farrant does have a sense of decency, and when Krogh
gives orders that offend him, he leaks information to Minty, a
down-trodden journalist, with drastic results. Graham Greene was born
in 1904. He worked as a journalist and critic, and in 1940 became
literary editor of the Spectator. He was later employed by the Foreign
Office. As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several
collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, three books
of autobiography, two of biography and four books for children. He also
wrote hundreds of essays, and film and book reviews. Graham Greene was a
member of the Order of Merit and a Companion of Honour. He died in April
1991.
