Someone asked me, “Have you read the latest Dan Brown?” There’s actually a mention of MISP in The Secret of Secrets. And yes, it fits surprisingly well within the story.

Jeffrey Epstein sent thousands of pounds in bank transfers after his release from prison in 2009
to Peter Mandelson’s husband, according to emails published by the US Department of Justice on Friday.
The latest documents raise fresh questions about Epstein’s relationship with Mandelson,
who was sacked as the UK’s ambassador to Washington when details of his support for the disgraced financier emerged in September.
The latest dataset published on Friday shows that Mand…

I figured out how to get Github to give me an actual patch file (why is this not a button???) but it’s against some intermediate version and <sigh>.
