Single & Single

Synopsis

Why was an English lawyer shot dead in Turkey by his firm's top client? How can a down-at-heel magician in Devon explain the vast fortune that has mysteriously appeared in his daughter's trust fund? With customs officer Nat Brock on the trail, the answers point to the House of Single - once a respectable finance company, now entangled with a Russian crime syndicate.

West is pitted against East, and the British establishment against a labyrinthine criminal superpower, in le Carré's searing novel of lives built upon lies.

Reviews
'An adventure that takes us to the ends of the earth via the rich but often barren landscape of the human heart'
The Times
'Single & Single manages to make some serious points about history amid a riot of whoops and skips, genre flourishes and delighted winks to the gallery'
The Guardian
'Le Carré is more than just a great storyteller. In Single & Single, he captures the Zeitgeist itself.'
