A remarkable book by the master. Reading it is a great experience". (Henning Mankell " Daily Telegraph"). An English couple Perry & Gail are taking an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula & a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb & wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London & its unholy alliance with Britains Intelligence Establishment. " Chilling & astute... In " Our Kind of Traitor" there is not a hair out of place...le Carre has done it again for our nasty new age". (" The Times"). "A compelling tale of deceit dialogue & the authors own despair... This is a story with frenzy at its heart". (James Naughtie " Telegraph"). " John le Carres bullet train of a new thriller is part vintage John le Carre & part Alfred Hitchcock... The authors most thrilling thriller in years". (" The New York Times")."
