First edition of this “exciting spy story” (New York Times Book Review). Octavo, original boards. Signed by John le Carre on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light shelfwear.
In Single & Single, le Carré masterfully establishes a sequence of events whose connections are mysterious, complex and compelling. He tells of corrupt liaisons between criminal elements in the new Russian states and the world of legitimate finance in the West. He also paints an intimate portrait of two families: one Russian, the other English; one trading illicit goods, the other laundering the profits; one betrayed by a son-in-law, the other betrayed, and redeemed, by a son.
