“... le Carré delivers the masterpiece he has been building to since the fall of communism: an epic tale of loyalty and betrayal that spans the lives of two friends, from the riot-torn West Berlin of the 1960s to the grimy looking-glass of Cold War Europe, to the present day of terrorism and new alliances” (taken from the publisher’s blurb).
