Il mosaico di Parsifal

Ludlum's story keeps me guessing at every turn, but I'm curious whether the twists were planned from the start or evolved during writing. What do you think influenced the complexity of the espionage web here?

The main character navigates a world where loyalty is fragile and deception is everywhere. I wonder if this moral gray area made the story more suspenseful or just harder to relate to.

The globe-trotting aspect added excitement but sometimes slowed down the narrative. Was this sense of shifting locations necessary for building tension or did it disrupt the flow?
