A secret agent comes of age - and reckons with the legacy of his first mission - in this thriller by New York Times best seller Charles Cumming, "the best of the new generation of British spy writers" (The Observer).
Lachlan Kite is a member of BOX 88, an elite transatlantic black-ops outfit so covert that not even MI6 and the CIA are certain of its existence - but even the best spy can't anticipate every potential threat in a world where dangerous actors lurk around every corner. At the funeral of his childhood best friend, Lachlan falls into a trap that drops him into the hands of a potentially deadly interrogation, with his pregnant wife, also abducted, being held as collateral for the information he's sworn on his own life to protect.
Thirty years earlier Lachlan, then just out of the upper-class boarding school where he was reared, was BOX 88's newest recruit. In the haze of a gap-year summer, in which the study of spycraft was intertwined with a journey of self-discovery, he cut his teeth on a special assignment on the coast of France, where a friendship allowed him special access to one of Iran's most dangerous men. Today, Lachlan's nostalgia for the trip is corrupted by recollection of the deceit that accompanied it, but in order to save his family, he'll be forced to revisit those painful memories one last time.

Good story in need of an editor

The structure in which the story was told. Stopping the modern day narative and flashing back to the past in a just in time / need to know manner. It kept you from guessing the plot line.
A good modern spy story with ties to historical Iran and the Shaw

not a lot of excitement

The narration is quite crisp and clear; but, at times it seemed mechanical (i.e. generated?) in quality.
I did appreciate the grammatical correctness of the author.
Those thoughts in mind, I found the premise intriguing enough that I have started the next book in the series.
Deus ex machina

Seems like spy novels fall into two categories now days; The super-cynical or the ridiculous super-hero type. Cumming writes smart, believable spy novels inhabited by rich characters and filled with intricate tradecraft and exotic locales.
Box 88 most definitely fits this bill in all respects. I can hardly wait to see where he takes Lachlan Kite and us from here.
And, Charlie Ansen, the narrator, is as good as it gets with this type of material.
One of Cumming’s best yet
