The Miernik Dossier is a fine example of Cold War spy fiction at its best. McCarry's approach of relating the tale from different points of view enhances the overall sense of confusion about what is truth and what is merely suspicion. The characters are occasionally types, but the story is intriguing and the plot absorbing. McCarry deserves the frequent comparisons he receives to Le Carré, in terms of the quality of his writing, but he also deserves recognition for having carved out a place truly his own in the genre.
