  1. 1. La Pratica Ipcress

    An ironic, unnamed British intelligence operative is tasked with investigating the baffling disappearance of several scientists and, as he probes Cold War London’s security services, uncovers a covert program that uses psychological manipulation and reconditioning to control its victims. The inquiry drags him into a web of bureaucratic obstacles, double-crosses and morally dim choices, forcing him to navigate office politics and shadowy conspiracies as he pieces together who is exploiting state power and why.
