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 Freres, 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. Poignant, compassionate, peopled with characters the reader never wants to let go, A Most Wanted Man is alive with humour, yet prickles with tension until the last heart-stopping page. It is also a work of deep humanity, and uncommon relevance to our times.

Most Wanted Man
Despite his advanced age (born in 1931), the writing of John le Carre never fails to be relevant and thought-provoking. As is often the case with le Carre's writing, this book explores betrayal and the inhumanity of mankind, contrasted with the purity and innocence of a few. It is a modern spy story, set in the "War on Terror" times (ie now) when every Muslim may be a suicide bomber. And even if he may not be such, the political mileage from his capture may make it desirable that he seem so!
