Graham Greene chronicles the story of Maurice Castle, a quiet and unremarkable MI6 officer who harbours a dangerous secret — one rooted not in ideology, but in a profound personal debt of gratitude. Written with Greene's characteristic moral precision and understated suspense, the novel argues that it is not politics, but intimate human bonds, that ultimately determine a person's fate. The narrative uncovers the terrible cost of divided allegiances in a world where trust is both currency and weapon, and where the machinery of the state grinds on indifferently. A profound meditation on betrayal, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be human, this is Greene at the very height of his powers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888031150299,"sku":"2026100006775-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6dc044ed-5a18-4a38-92a2-379e949ca739.png?v=1781753395","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006775-secondhand-the-human-factor","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
