Has anybody else read this one? It's bonkers. Had to laugh out loud at points. Like when the more nazified of Zigzag's abwehr handlers quits to become the Wermacht's official dance instructor. Or when MI5 cut him loose, he heads over to the dog track and gets in on the race fixing, involving meatbal...
