内容简介 Philip Davison’s taut, action-packed, emotionally complex series follows the story of a crooked man who desperately wants to go straight. On the second green of a Long Island golf course there are three golf balls and a corpse with a bullet hole in its forehead. The call goes out for Harry Fielding to come in from the cold. With a new suit and a new partner, Harry is back where he least wants to be: playing the deadly games of MI5. It doesn’t help that his apprentice, Johnny Weeks, is a troublemaker with the measured diffidence of a French waiter and the volatility of a pit-bull terrier. Harry goes back to the work he hates but does so well, but as his instructions come in and the purpose of his job doesn’t get any clearer, Harry begins to wonder if he has been set up—and for what purpose.
作者简介 Philip Davison was born in 1957 in Dublin. He has a background in film editing and has written short stories and plays for stage and television, as well as three previous novels published in Ireland.
媒体推荐 Review
Ireland’s equivalent of Graham Greene with a dash of le Carré and the readability of early Len Deighton... treat yourself to The Long Suit. (Evening Herald, UK) Philip Davison has a laconic writing style and mordant tone that suits his eccentric protagonist and suits the action, which is quick and nasty. (The Baltimore Sun)

'Sharp. Funny. Hip. Learned. Surprising…If you haven't experienced Ireland's equivalent of Graham Greene with a dash of Le Carre and the readability of Len Deighton, then treat yourself to The Long Suit' Evening Herald --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
