Our Kind of Traitor Summary

Our Kind of Traitor by John le Carre

Watch a video The unrivaled master of spy fiction returns with a taut and suspenseful tale of dirty money and dirtier politics. For nearly half a century, John le Carre's limitless imagination has enthralled millions of readers and moviegoers around the globe. From the cold war to the bitter fruits of colonialism to unrest in the Middle East, he has reinvented the spy novel again and again. Now, le Carre makes his Viking debut with a stunning tour-de-force that only a craftsman of his caliber could pen. As menacing and flawlessly paced as "The Little Drummer Girl" and as morally complex as "The Constant Gardener, Our Kind of Traitor" is signature le Carre. Perry and Gail are idealistic and very much in love when they splurge on a tennis vacation at a posh beach resort in Antigua. But the charm begins to pall when a big-time Russian money launderer enlists their help to defect. In exchange for amnesty, Dima is ready to rat out his "vory" (Russian criminal brotherhood) compatriots and expose corruption throughout the so-called legitimate financial and political worlds. Soon, the guileless couple find themselves pawns in a deadly endgame whose outcome will be determined by the victor of the British Secret Service's ruthless internecine battles."

Our Kind of Traitor Reviews

One of our great writers of moral ambiguity, a tireless explorer of that darkly contradictory no-man s land "Our Kind of Traitor" brims with deftly drawn characters navigating a treacherously uncertain landscape that seems ripped from yesterday s papers and re-created with an absolutely certain hand. Tim Rutten, "Los Angeles Times" Part vintage John le Carre and part Alfred Hitchcock the suspense in "Our Kind of Traitor" is genuine and nerve-racking. Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times" I would suggest immortality for John le Carre, who I believe one of the most intelligent and entertaining writers working today. "The Chicago Tribune.""
