Much of the novel turns on literary puns and references, To catch a spytakes the delicate convolutions of the Le Carré thriller a step furthertowards a world in which the doubleness of agents is both assumed and unprovable.
The plot is a fictional response to the Burgess MacLean Philby spy scandals of the Cold War years that moves towards a meditation on the necessity of living with borrowed faiths and contingent truths in the face of an inscrutable divinity.
Antichthon, a historical novel, continues where the spy novel left off, exploring the universal suspicion in the Renaissance world of casuistry and the Inquisition in which Giordano Bruno is burnt as a heretic.
