Why read it?

1 author picked Moscow Exile as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I really love the characters in this book. It’s the fourth book in a series, but I read this out of order, which meant I didn’t have the benefit of some of the backstory for one or two people. This is a story of treachery and betrayal, and spies that stay in the game for years before getting out or getting caught. 

From Mark's list on the authentic world of espionage.
