「在『公司』这个低调却凶险的领域里，莫里斯·卡斯尔履行着并不惊天动地的例行情报职责。随后，一位新的安全主管——一把『扫帚』——走马上任。当他扫遍整个部门时，发现了一处泄密，一桩牵涉南非各大国的系统性背叛。卡斯尔的同事戴维斯曾接触过相关文件，而他的酗酒、赌博和无可救药的浪漫主义使他成为双重间谍的疑似人选。卡斯尔本人则无可怀疑；他一向非常谨慎。除了在他坠入爱河的时候。」（摘自 Avon 平装本第一页……

……Greene 早期的小说（比如《A Gun for Sale》后来变成了《This Gun for Hire》）。后来的美国版恢复了原来的书名。有意思的是，出版商曾要求给他晚期的小说《The Human Factor》改书名，结果 Greene 直接换了出版商，所以在那之前的所有作品都由 Viking Penguin 出版，而从《The Human Factor》开始，他的美国出版商变成了 Simon & Schuster（后来又换成 Reinhardt Books，……
…Greene's earlier novels (A Gun for Sale, for example, became This Gun for Hire). Later U.S. editions restored the original titles. Interestingly, a request from the publisher to retitle his late novel, The Human Factor, led to Greene changing publishers so while everything before that was published by Viking Penguin, beginning with The Human Factor, his U.S. publisher was Simon & Schuster (and later Reinhardt Books,…
