The article mentions several fiction books on the subject but misses one by P Kerr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Kerr The Other Side of Silence. London: Quercus, 2016. ISBN 978-1-78429-514-1, set in 1956

the book mostly discuss Burgess and McLean and there is a transcript of an extensive "debriefing" of Burgess DBelin (talk) 12:51, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On looking at the lead, I felt it could benefit from some copyediting [1]. Fwiw, I was some surprised to find the sing/pl choice for "none" [of them] so controversial. After thinking a bit more critically about the sentence in context, I've tried this, though I can imagine that might be a bit controversial too (as it may implicitly call into question the completeness of our current knowledge).
