The Tailor of Panama by John Le Carré

The Tailor of Panama by John Le Carré

Harry Pendel is the charismatic proprietor of Pendel and Braithwaite Limitada of Panama, through whose doors everyone who is anyone in Central America passes; Andrew Osnard, mysterious and fleshly, is a spy. His secret mission is two-pronged: to keep a watchful eye on the political manoeuvrings leading up to the American handover of the Panama Canal on 31st December 1999; and to secure for himself the immense private fortune that has until now churlishly eluded him.

'Le Carre shows what an extraordinarily witty writer he can be, with a true feeling for the farcical' Sunday Times 'A romantic delirium for troubled times' Observer 'A masterful portrayal of human weakness' Times Educational Supplement 'A work of rare brilliance' The Times
