[…] nearly impossible to mark the page and go to sleep […] this is le Carré’s strongest, most powerful novel, which has a great deal to do with its near perfect narrative pace and the pleasure of its prose. —The New York Times

A half-starved young Russian man in a long black overcoat is smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable amount of cash secreted in a purse round his neck. He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa.

Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer, determines to save Issa from deportation. Soon her client’s survival becomes more important to her than her own career. In pursuit of Issa’s mysterious past, she confronts the incongruous Tommy Brue, the sixty-year-old scion of Brue Frères, a failing British bank based in Hamburg.

A triangle of impossible loves is born.

Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the so-called War on Terror, the spies of three nations converge upon the innocents.

From New York Times bestselling author John le Carré (A Perfect Spy, The Little Drummer Girl), A Most Wanted Man is poignant, compassionate, and peopled with characters the reader won't want to let go. The critically-acclaimed 2014 film adaptation stars the late Philip Seymour Hoffman (the last of his films to premiere before his passing), Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, and Robin Wright.

A work of deep humanity, this espionage thriller from master spy novelist le Carré is alive with humour, yet prickles with tension until the last heart-stopping page. This new audiobook edition is narrated by Voice Arts Award nominee Dennis Kleinman.
