Single & single /

From Single & Single''s 'tour de force opening' (Kirkus Reviews), le Carré 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 Carré''s finest novel in years. 作者简介: JOHN LE CARRE was born in England in 1931.After attending the universities of Berne and Oxford,he spent five years in the British Foreign Service.He is the author of seventeen novels,including The Spy Who Came In from the Cold;Tinker,Tailor,Soldier,Spy;A Perect Spy;The Russia House;The Tailor of Panama;The Naive and Sentimental Lover;The books have been translated into twenty-five languages.He lives in England.From Single & Single''s 'tour de force opening' (Kirkus Reviews), le Carré masterfully establishes a sequence of events whose connections are mysterious, complex and compelling.
