At their best, thrillers can pull off the impressive feat of providing escape, while at the same time giving us food for thought on the world around us.
That’s the case with the books here: former BBC journalist Alex Gerlis’sAgent in the Shadows ventures to wartime France as the Wolf Pack spies go undercover to find a traitor; and in Dohany Street author Adam LeBor, also the FT’s thriller reviewer, takes us to Budapest as Detective Balthazar Kovacs investigates the disappearance of a young Israeli historian. They join award-winning journalist Jenni Frazer.
