In this enthralling novel, John le Carré takes readers beyond Cold War intrigue into the dark, complex world of international finance and corrupt alliances. When a lawyer from the prestigious London finance house of Single & Single is found dead on a Turkish hillside, a chain of mysterious and dangerous events is set in motion.

Oliver Single, a children’s magician and son of a prominent London merchant, finds himself drawn into a web of illicit deals, betrayal, and redemption. As connections between the legitimate world of Western finance and the criminal underworld of the newly independent Russian states are uncovered, le Carré weaves a multi-layered tale of family loyalties and moral dilemmas.

With its gripping opening and masterful storytelling, Single & Single offers a profound exploration of trust, betrayal, and the consequences of power in a rapidly changing world.

Published by Scribner in 1999, this edition highlights le Carré's unmatched ability to blend suspense and literary depth.
