Publisher Description
The tale is energized by le Carre's breathtaking versatility with settings and voices, and his authoritative portrayal of the way things are done in the shifty world succeeding his former Cold War preoccupations. […] le Carré is never less than a riveting writer. —Publishers Weekly
When a corporate lawyer from the London finance house of Single & Single is executed in Turkey without an inkling as to why, it triggers a series of events that threaten to bring an international crime syndicate to its knees.
The murder also pulls one Oliver Hawthorne from his life as a children's magician in Devon, stripping away any illusion of normalcy thrusting him back into the world of corruption run by one of the eponymous Single's: charismatic financier and money launderer, Tiger Single. Tiger also happens to be Oliver's father.
Having reported Tiger's criminal activity to British Customs and Excise some years prior, Oliver's guilt over his betrayal still lingers. So when the chance to help his father earn full immunity arises, he takes it, beginning a dangerous pursuit that will force him to confront everything he thought he believed.
From the bestselling author of The Perfect Spy and The Night Manager, John le Carré, Single & Single explores the price of morality in a world ruled by greed, and asks what principles we might set aside if it means protecting family. Actor Charles Armstrong narrates this new audio edition.

About John le Carré
John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931–2020), was an English author of espionage novels. Eight of his novels made the #1 spot on the New York Times bestsellers list between 1983 and 2017. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, his third book, secured him a worldwide reputation as one of the greatest spy novelists in history. Numerous major motion pictures have been made from his novels, as well as several television series. After attending the universities at Berne and Oxford, he taught at Eton and spent five years in the British Foreign Service, serving briefly in British Intelligence during the Cold War. Being a member of MI6 when he wrote his first novel, Call for the Dead in 1961 in Hamburg, it necessitated the use of a nom de plume, by which he continued to be known. His writing earned him several honorary doctorate degrees and the Somerset Maugham Award, the Goethe Medal, and the Olof Palme Prize.
