Resumen del Editor

Bruno Salvador has worked on clandestine missions before. A highly skilled interpreter, he is not a stranger to the Official Secrets Act. But this is the first time he has been asked to change his identity – and, worse still, his clothes – in service of his country.

Whisked to a remote island to interpret a top-secret conference between no-name financiers and Congolese warlords, Salvo’s excitement is only heightened by memories of the night before he left London, and his life-changing encounter with a beautiful nurse named Hannah.

Exit suddenly, the unassuming, happily married man Salvo believed himself to be. Enter in his place, the pseudonymous Brian Sinclar: spy, lover and perhaps, even, hero.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An incendiary tale ... le Carré's understanding of how the world ticks is, as always, machete sharp." ( USA Today)

"Le Carré's insight into the dense, dangerous nexus of corporate and government interests is chillingly assured." ( The New York Times Book Review)

"To categorise le Carré, as many do, as a 'spy' novelist is to do him a disservice; he uses the world of cloak-and-dagger much as Conrad used the sea – to explore the dark places in human nature." ( Washington Post Book World)

Extremely great

Classic Le Carre, nuanced and entertaining. So well narrated, I enjoyed everything about this story. 85 stars
