A great thriller novel. I love that the majority of it is dialogue between the characters. The writing is rich and powerful. Descriptions are lifelike. And the story itself is really engaging.

Le Carre weaves a complex and compelling story of international finance and criminal elements of the new Russian states. He doesn't disappoint as a master storyteller who can move beyond the cold war to tackle social issues of post war Europe. A fantastic story, complex characters and plot twists that leave you guessing...what more can you ask for?!
