The greatest master of the spy genre, John le Carré, presents the dizzying novel “A Most Peculiar Circumstance,” unanimously acclaimed as a literary masterpiece—by critics and by millions of fans around the world. This is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the dangerous and thrilling world of big politics and international espionage.

The new novel by the classic of the spy genre John le Carré (born 1931) has been unanimously recognized by the public as yet another writer’s masterpiece. The plot is built around a super-secret operation in Gibraltar carried out by British and American forces and—supposedly—aimed at a major terrorist. The Foreign Office announced that it had been a success, and the participants were honored… But what really happened? What is the truth about this operation, so carefully concealed? Two Foreign Office officials take the investigation into their own hands—both of them people of absolutely not heroic character, yet they believe it is a matter of honor and conscience to bring to light the truth about a secret operation that turned into failure and disgrace, risking their career, their freedom, and even their lives.
