Archangel
Here’s a short page about a thriller that was subsequently turned into a film starring Daniel Craig. You’ll also have a look at what Portico looked like a few years ago, before the blogging. I see from my database that I have given the book away. I suspect that one of these days I’ll buy it in paper and read it again. What, exactly, is the pleasure that books like Archangel provide? Could it have something to do with all the hard work – the tedious preparation – that their unconsciously glamorous heroes put in, alongside the derring-do? Come to think of it, I haven’t yet read the copy of The Day of the Jackal that I picked up a while back, to take the place of the lost review copy that I got at the radio station.
