Revue de presse

The finest imaginative social historian of the post-war years (Times Literary Supplement)

SINGLE & SINGLE is an adventure that takes us to the ends of the earth via the rich but often barren landscape of the human heart (The Times)

A masterly work, faultless fiction of the highest order. Written with astonishing panache, subtle wit and tremendous style (The Herald)

Le Carré is a history painter in the open air and a miniaturist indoors. He combines a choreographic mastery of the big moment - a revolution, an invasion, a race meeting - with an eye (and ear) for the tiny duplicities of human behaviour in small, secret rooms. One of our best living novelists (New Statesman)

SINGLE & SINGLE manages to make some serious points about history amid a riot of whoops and skips, genre flourishes and delighted winks to the gallery (Guardian)

Présentation de l'éditeur

A corporate lawyer from the House of Single & Single is shot dead in cold blood on a Turkish hillside. A children's entertainer in Devon is hauled to his local bank late at night to explain a monumental influx of cash. A Russian freighter is arrested in the Black Sea. A celebrated London financier has disappeared into thin air. A British customs officer is on a trail of corruption and murder. The logical connection of these events is one of the many pleasures of this extraordinary new novel of love, deceit and the triumph of humanity. SINGLE & SINGLE is a thrilling journey of the human heart - intimate, magical and riotous, revealing le Carré at the height of his dramatic and creative powers.
