"A remarkable book by the master. Reading it is a great experience". Henning Mankell, "Daily Telegraph" An English couple, Perry and Gail, are taking an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britains Intelligence Establishment. "Chilling and astute...In "Our Kind of Traitor", there is not a hair out of place...le Carre has done it again for our nasty new age". "The Times" "A compelling tale of deceit, dialogue and the authors own despair...This is a story with frenzy at its heart". James Naughtie, "Telegraph" "John le Carres bullet train of a new thriller is part vintage John le Carre and part Alfred Hitchcock...The authors most thrilling thriller in years". "The New York Times"
