A BURNABLE TOWN
Book ID/图书代码： 11320005B05038
English Summary/英文概要： Harry Fielding is close to cracking up, but that’s his business. He has been hiding out in Spain, but now Clements, his controller, is calling him home. He is to be rewarded for his loyalty and his presence of mind in an MI5 operation that saw himself and Johnny Weeks, his former apprentice, catastrophically betrayed. With a heavy heart Harry takes up a dubious post as Clements’ personal assistant. Harry is to be rehabilitated. He begins to think like a spy again. He doesn’t like it any more than he likes the new brooms and cocky ’characters’ he encounters in the corridors of power. He waits in his empty office for the unspecified brief, with little to do but reflect on the final break with his estranged wife, Juno, and his affair with his Spanish lover, Catalina. In the domain of deception and misplaced attentions, brooding over loved ones is dangerous. Then news comes that Johnny Weeks has surfaced and is looking for revenge. Against Harry’s better judgement they join forces - and the fearless Johnny becomes both a friend and a catalyst for Harry’s rebellion. As he turns against the wheels of the MI5 machine, and begins to employ the techniques he has always abhorred, life for Harry Fielding - the misfit with integrity - becomes a deadly business indeed.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Harry Fielding就快崩溃了，但这是他自己的事。他一直躲在戏班眼，但是他的老板Clements要叫他回家了。他将因为在英国军情五处的一次行动中所表现的忠诚和沉着冷静而得到奖赏，而这次行动他和以前的徒弟Johnny Weeks被人给出卖了，这可闯了大祸。
Harry马上又要恢复元气了，他又像以前一样和间谍一样思考。他不再喜欢这样，就像他不喜欢新的扫把和权力走廊里他遇到的那一个个傲慢的“家伙”。他在自己空荡荡的办公室里等候不确定的报告，无所事事，只好反思最后一次和分居老婆分手的事，以及他和西班牙情人Catalina的婚外情。在充满欺诈和不该关心的世界里，反思心爱的人是一件非常危险的事情。
不久有消息出现Johnny Weeks露面了，他要伺机报仇了。Harry明明知道这样很危险，但他还是和Johnny联手了，不怕死的Johnny既成了朋友，也激起了Harry反抗的精神。他和英国军情五处对着干了，还开始运用他以前非常厌恶的手段来对付，现在生命对Harry Fielding----不该有正直感的他却偏偏有很强的正直感----来说已经是一个致命的生意了。
