The Man with the Green Motorcycle: A Rare Book Odyssey. A New York Tale. - Paperback

by Timothy Clarke (Author)

Kirkus Reviews - A compact spy thriller that explores the ways in which a good man can survive in a shady milieu.

In Clarke's espionage thriller, an operative must rely on his inner resources after he's framed...Clarke takes readers on a fascinating journey into logistics, an area of espionage few consider. He has wisely built his narrative around an admirable lead character who remains conscientious and well meaning despite operating in a doubtlessly dirty business. A larger cast of supporting characters might have enlivened the story a bit, but perhaps the narrator's relative isolation is the point-he largely operates alone and must be able to rely solely on his own ingenuity. The author deftly illuminates the mind of someone capable of handling such intricate, high-stakes work.
