蜃気楼を見たスパイ (文春文庫 (275‐18))

The story's intimate and detailed view of espionage felt unique. I wonder if this approach was based on real operations or purely fictional.

The characters operate in a grey area that challenges traditional notions of heroism. How did others interpret their motivations and actions?

I'm curious whether McCarry drew from real events or used a lot of creative license to craft this suspenseful narrative.
