A Most Wanted Man (Paperback) - John le Carré

Some reviews from media:
Charles Cumming, Mail on Sunday
'A formidably sophisticated work of fiction, full of energy, rage and great humour. All the qualities for which le Carré's fiction has been admired - his descriptive powers, his electrifying dialogue, his cynicism in the presence of corporate greed and government power - are visible in The Mission Song. That this great English novelist continues to produce work of this calibre with such frequency is simply astonishing.' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


Review
'One of the most sophisticated fictional responses to the war on terror yet published.' ( Guardian )

'A first-class novel about the most pressing moral and political concerns of our time.' ( Telegraph )

'le Carré is back on form in a cracking terror plot.' ( Daily Express )

'Wry, warm, compassionate.' ( The Times )

'A cautionary tale, rich in humanity, from a master storyteller back at the peak of his powers.' ( Glasgow Herald )

'This is bleak, brilliant, hypnotic stuff and yet another reason to count le Carré among this country's very finest contemporary writers. Unhesitatingly recommended.' ( Independent on Sunday )
