As usual, le Carré (Our Kind of Traitor) tells a great story in sterling prose --Publishers Weekly
In 2008, a covert counter-terror operation codenamed Wildlife is mounted on the Rock of Gibraltar. This one is right off the books: the target codenamed PUNTER; the English boys on land, the American mercenaries by sea; Kit Probyn, Foreign Office upright veteran with a safe pair of hands and no previous experience of the dark arts, to be the Minister's eyes and ears on the ground--his red telephone.
Toby Bell, rising Foreign Office star and the Minister's Personal Private Secretary, has been kept out of the loop. Amidst whispers of private armies, bounty, dicey intelligence, corporate wars, he decides to investigate, believing that his boss might have been manipulated.
Before long, the worlds of Toby Bell and Kit Probyn collide, and together they navigate a path fraught with dangers both moral and physical. Toby faces intense pressure to stay silent, while Kit wrestles with the guilt stemming from his complicity in the operation.
The powerful figures they're up against will stop at nothing to keep them from revealing the truth. But if the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, at what point do these two good men become guilty bystanders?
A Delicate Truth, New York Times bestselling author John le Carré's twenty-third novel, is a furiously paced story of moral dilemma, personal guilt, bold action, and unexpected love. Award-winning narrator and AudioFile Golden Voice Simon Jones (BBC Radio's The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) reads this new audio edition.
