________________________________
Nat, a veteran of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, thinks his years as an agent runner are over. But MI6 have other plans. To tackle the growing threat from Moscow Centre, Nat is put in charge of The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag band of spies. His weekly badminton session with the young, introspective, Brexit-hating Ed, offers respite from the new job. But it is Ed, of all unlikely people, who will take Nat down the path of political anger that will ensnare them all.

Notă biografică
John
le
Carré
was
born
in
1931.

six
decades,
he
wrote
novels
that
came
to
define
our
age.
The
son
of
a
confidence
trickster,
he
spent
his
childhood
between
boarding
school
and
the
London
underworld.
At
sixteen
he
found
refuge
at
the
university
of
Bern,
then
later
at
Oxford.
A
spell
of
teaching
at
Eton
led
him
to
a
short
career
in
British
Intelligence
(MI5&6).
He
published
his
debut
novel,Call
for
the
Dead,
in
1961
while
still
a
secret
servant.
His
third
novel,The
Spy
Who
Came
in
from
the
Cold,
secured
him
a
worldwide
reputation,
which
was
consolidated
by

his
trilogyTinker
Tailor
Soldier
Spy,The
Honourable

Recenzii
A
fine
piece
of
storytelling.
It
isa
neat,
compact,
slow-burning
tale
with
just
the
right
amount
of
twisting
and
turning
and
misdirection.
Divided
loyalties,
uncertain
motives,
Russian
agents,
bureaucratic
infighting,
jaded
spies,
tatty
offices
-
all
of
the
things
you
want
and
expect
from
a
high-quality
le
Carré
thriller
are
here
A veryclassyentertainment aboutpolitical ideals and deception. . .laced with fury at the senseless vandalism of Brexit and of Trump. Le Carré isthe master of the spy genre.
Le Carré deliversa tale for our times, replete with the classic seasoning of betrayal, secret state shenanigans and sad-eyed human frailty, all baked intoan oven-hot contemporary thriller. . .Agent Running in the Fieldisright on the money, in psychology as much as politics,a demonstration of the British spy thriller at its unputdownable best
Asingeniously structuredas any of le Carré's fiction, skilfully misdirecting the reader for much of the time
Amasterpiece
Master of the game
Le Carré's troubled new protagonist is developed with the author's customary skill . . .an impeccable piece of writing
No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his times
The master is back on formin this tale of Russian subterfuge and a middle-aged spy 's suspicious badminton partner
Arich, beautifully written book studded with surprises. Narrative is a black art, and Le Carré is its grandmaster
Themaster espionagenovelist takes on Brexit and Trump in thistense and chilling portrait of today
Wonderful. . .sophisticated entertainment from an author who, at 88, remains sharper than most of us
John le Carré is as recognisable a writer as Dickens or Austen
A bang-up-to-date investigation of some of the big issues of our time
Le Carré demonstrates once again hissublime elegance as a writer, and his delicate touch when portraying human failings in the shadowy world of espionage . . .subtle, wry and seamless, it's an utter joy, from first page to last
A literary master for a generation
Blisteringly contemporary. . . Each new book from le Carré isrefreshingly different and uniquely compelling
One of those writers who will be read a century from now
Astute state-of-the-nation commentary
Classic, unmistakeable le Carré. . . it has the added bonus of some wonderfully vitriolic rants
Themaster of the espionage novelreturns with aperfectly nuancedstory of a spy on the scrapheap at the age of 47 and uncertain who to trust in the world of Brexit and divided loyalties
