Ein unfreiwilliger Abenteurer Ein Agent wider Willen im Havanna der späten Fünfziger Jahre »Auf dem Schreibtisch lagen zwei Bücher - identische Exemplare von Lambs Shakespeare-Erzählungen. Auf einem Block, auf dem sich Hawthorne vermutlich Notizen für ihr Treffen gemacht hatte, stand: ›1. Gehalt. 2. Spesen. 3. Übermittlung. 4. Charles Lamb. 5. Tinte.‹ Er wollte eben den Lamb aufschlagen, als eine Stimme sagte: ›Hände hoch. Arriba los manos.‹ - ›Las manos‹; verbesserte Wormold.« Liebevoll zeichnet Greene die Gestalt des Mr. Wormold und die seiner Freunde und Feinde. Der englische Kaufmann Wormold ist alles andere als ein Abenteurer. Er verkauft Staubsauger und möchte die Zukunft seiner extravaganten Tochter sichern. Der britische Geheimdienst sucht Agenten - und es ist für ihn eine vermeintlich sichere Geldquelle. Doch Wormold spielt mit dem Feuer. .
