For those who are intrigued, but not enough to track down the gist, it's about the . . . dregs, . . . of British Intelligence, . . . whether they burned out, crossed a muckety-muck, or failed a high profile op, or were simply never all that skilled to begin with, are assigned to a kind of placeholder/scutwork division with limited resources, . . . Then when some of them happen across some ominous intel, they summon their capabilities and maximize their resources to unveil an explosive plot.
Kind of a Rocky meets Bourne Identity. Or a cul-de-sac of the byzantine tapestry of intelligence work LeCarre would have written about.
