About the book

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.
