But when a single attempt to pass on information to the British authorities
- about an international businessman at the hotel with suspicious dealings
- backfires terribly, & people close to Pine begin to die, he commits himself to a battle against powerful forces he cannot begin to imagine.

(San Francisco Chronicle). ” When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le Carre.. .they were a journey into the wider world... These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from the rest of humankind”. (Aung San Suu Kyi).” One of those writers who will be read a century from now”. (Robert Harris). ” He can communicate emotion, from sweating fear to despairing love, with terse & compassionate conviction”. (Sunday Times (on The Spy Who Came in from the Cold)). ” Return of the master... Having plumbed the devious depths of the Cold War, le Carre has done it again for our nasty new age”. (The Times (on Our Kind of Traitor)). John le Carre was born in 1931. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy & Smiley`s People.
