Our Game

John LeCarre


In this new book, le Carre returns to the world of the spymaster. At the heart of his novel is the relationship between two men, Tim and Larry, friends since their schoolboy days. They have been colleagues for 25 years when Tim is told he is no longer needed by his majesty's service. Before long he begins to suspect that Larry is becoming involved in increasingly secretive activities having to do with his old contacts in the now erupting Baltic states. Then Larry disappears, as does Tim's mistress. Tim tracks his friend and mistress across England to Paris and eventually through the looking-glass to Russia and deeper.
