The Enemy Within Reveals Graham Greene's mysterious double life and identity: the respected novelist who was also a spy, and whose life was based on deception. The author of The Power and the Glory, The Third Man, and other distinguished literary works is portrayed in this biography as a man devoted not only to creating works of fiction but also to creating fiction about himself. He was highly regarded as a Catholic novelist, yet Shelden shows that his faith was one of many masks Greene donned as a cover for a life devoted to misinfo., intrigue, and mystery. Draws on previously unseen material, including documents from his MI6/Secret Service dossier, and interviews with those who knew him.

Romanen følger en midaldrende, tilsyneladende anonym medarbejder i den britiske efterretningstjeneste, hvis liv vendes på hovedet, da en intern sikkerhedssag afslører, at der er en muldvarp i tjenesten. Mistanken, forhørene og presset blotlægger et menneske mellem loyalitet over for systemet og loyalitet over for sine nærmeste. Greene skildrer spionverdenen som grå hverdag snarere end glamourøs action og undersøger, hvordan idealer, skyld, kærlighed og politiske overbevisninger påvirker de valg, personer i magtens periferi træffer.

Graham Greenes mesterværk Altings hjerte er fortællingen om en god mand, som bliver viklet ind i kærlighedsintriger og ondskab i en vestafrikansk kystby. Som politichef er Scobie bundet af sin stærke integritet, og som ægtemand er han underlagt en tung følelse af ansvar over for sin hustru, Louise, som han på fatal vis nærmere ynker end elsker. Da Scobie forelsker sig i den unge enke Helen, oplever han, hvordan en kort og lidenskabelig opflammen igen forvandler sig til ynkværdig medlidenhed, hans integritet forvandler sig til svig og uærlighed. Mens Scobies verden styrter i grus omkring ham, orkestrerer Graham Greene historien om en personlig krise med lige dele spænding, fascinationskraft og uundgåelig tragedie. Type: Paperback
