Enthralling... I've read many John Le Carre novels, and this one is of the same high quality that I have come to expect from this world class story teller. His ability to capitivate the reader with a solid progressive plot and believable charators is second to none. While writing this review I would also like to recommend 'The Constantine Legacy' by Andrew Towning. His Jake Dillon charactor is also well worth a read.
Stunning spy story This is a stunning spy story about the human cost of the Cold War that practically invented a genre. Brilliantly plotted, authentic (the love interest works fine for me too) and chilling - with an ending to die for.
