Single & Singlevon John le Carre
KurzbeschreibungFrom SINGLE & SINGLE's "tour de force opening" (Kirkus Reviews), le Carre masterfully establishes a sequence of events whose connections are mysterious, complex and compelling. He fashions a story of corrupt liaisons between criminal syndicates in the new Russian states and the legitimate world of Western finance. He also intimately portrays two families: one Russian, the other English; one trading illicit goods, the other laundering the profits; one betrayed by a son-in-law, the other betrayed -- and redeemed -- by a son. An enthralling, multilayered tale by an author at the height of his creative powers, SINGLE & SINGLE is le Carre's finest novel in years.
