HEAR SAMPLE

“Powerful….Remarkable….A grand summation of all John le Carré’s themes.”—New York Times “Le Carré is writing at the top of his form.”—Los Angeles Times “Extraordinary….”—USA Today “Intriguing….Magisterial….The many ingredients are skillfully marshaled. Lucidly and elegantly controlled.”—New York Times Book Review After the Berlin Wall came down and opened up new changes in eastern Europe, John le Carré’s stunning novel, The Secret Pilgrim, takes us behind the scenes into the former Cold War world. Nothing is as it was. Old enemies embrace. The dark staging grounds of the Cold War, whose shadows barely obscured the endless games of espionage, are flooded with light; the rules are rewritten, the stakes changed, the future unfathomable. John le Carré has seized this momentous turning point in history to give us the most disturbing experience we have yet had of the frail and brutal world of spydom. The man called Ned speaks to us. All his adult life he has been in British Intelligence—the Circus—a loyal, shrewd, wily officer of the Cold War. Now, approaching the end of his career, he revisits his own past. He invites us on a tour of his three decades in the Circus, burrowing deep into the twilight world where he ran spies from Poland, Estonia, and Hungary. John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell, is an English author of espionage novels. After attending the universities at Berne and Oxford, he taught at Eton and spent five years in the British Foreign Service. The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, his third book, secured him a worldwide reputation. He lives in Cornwall, Great Britain.
