In Issue 34, we experience the thrill of people and places spilling their secrets. Amaryllis Fox - an ex-CIA spy who spent her 20s negotiating in some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones - cracks open the mysteries of the Clandestine Service, and what they've taught her about peace. We also present the result of our own months-long international operation: to gain access to an art deco royal palace in Gujurat, India. Elsewhere, a photo essay by Gustav Almestal explores the solitary indulgence of comfort foods, so tied to our most intimate of spaces - our homes - and so appealing during break ups.
