Review of "The Ghost"

Very enjoyable thriller, although the obvious Blair parallels rather detracted and the ending disappoints - a sort of coda tacked on after he gets his passport back showing the book launch at which he finally solves the mystery (it was the wife Ruth (Olivia Williams) not the PM who was a CIA puppet) and gets knocked down in an off frame hit and run as the credits roll.
