Corrected, I would like to add (with the support of Latin memories stretching a bit far...), for the fact that Graham Greene's novel is singular. The original expression in medias res -- in the middle things, literally, no 'of', which is important -- refers necessarily to the plural. res is the direct object, accusative case. Singular would be rem, thus we need the plural. I think. Never miss a chance to brag; my motto.
