Alec Milius is young, smart and ambitious. He is also comfortable with deceit. So when a chance encounter leads him to a career with MI6, Alex thinks he's landed the perfect job for his talents. Compelled to work alone, relying on instinct, he's soon spinning a web of deception that traps him between his new masters in London and powerful adversaries. For his new line of work the difference between truth and a lie can mean the difference between life and death. And Alec is having trouble telling them apart. A SPY BY NATURE is the bestselling novel with which Charles Cumming announced his arrival as heir apparent to masters like John le Carré and Len Deighton; compellingly told, utterly authentic and heart-racingly intense, it will grip you till the very last page.
