Synopsis:
|
Ted Mundy has lived a very complicated life. Now working as a tour guide in Germany (and spending most of his time dodging creditors), Ted was once a spy for the British government. Life is difficult but predictable for the disillusioned Ted until he encounters his old friend and fellow former spy, Sasha. Sasha has big, seemingly idealistic plans--plans that involve Ted and a wealthy philanthropist named Dimitri. Getting involved in Sasha's scheme could make Ted a very wealthy man. But who is Dimitri? And why is all his money tied to Middle Eastern bank accounts?

Author Bio:
|
Born David Cornwell in Poole, Dorset, John Le Carré attended Berne University in Switzerland and Lincoln College, Oxford, graduating in 1956 with a B.A. in modern languages. After tutoring at Eton for two years, he went to work for the British Foreign Service in Bonn and Hamburg from 1959 to 1964. Le Carré is best known for his brooding international spy, the ironically named George Smiley. In fact, Smiley is a dark, disturbed agent mired in the lonely, cutthroat world of espionage where the line between good and evil is often blurred, and sometimes erased. Le Carré pulls no punches in depicting the stark, inhuman nature of international intrigue. He first gained fame for the classic thriller THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD (1963), which featured Smiley in a small, supporting role. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, many people predicted that Le Carré's career would die with the Cold War. But Le Carré proved them wrong, finding newly relevant topics in the post-Cold-War world.
