A PAGE-TURNING LOVE STORY FROM THE GRANDMASTER OF SPY THRILLERS
Aldo Cassidy is a naive and sentimental lover. A successful, judicious man, he is wrenched away from the ordered certainties of his life by a sudden encounter with Shamus, a wild, carousing artist and Helen, his alluring wife. Plunged into a whirlpool of recklessness and spontaneity, Cassidy becomes a man bewildered and agonised as he is torn between two poles of a nature more complex than he had ever imagined.

About the Author:
John le Carré was born in 1931. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; The Honourable Schoolboy; and Smiley’s People. His recent novels include The Constant Gardener, Absolute Friends, The Mission Song, A Most Wanted Man, and Our Kind of Traitor. A Delicate Truth is his twenty-third novel.
