Sinopse

“The triumphant return of the master of the spy novel.” Daily Mail “A great writer... Le Carré is one of the greatest observers of the contemporary scene, with a talent capable of provoking and disturbing us.” Independent “A delicate truth is the most ingenious thing in Le Carré's recent work.” The Times A secret anti-terrorism operation called Wildlife is being mounted in Gibraltar, the British Crown's most precious colony. The objective: capture a jihadist arms dealer. Leading the scheme is Fergus Quinn, a senior Foreign Office official. The operation is so sensitive that not even the young and idealistic Toby Bell, Quinn's right-hand man, is privy to the details. Suspecting an imminent conspiracy, Toby is quickly removed from the scene. According to official sources, Wildlife was bloodless and successful. Three years later, Toby Bell returns from a stint at the British embassy in Beirut. Upon entering his apartment, he finds an envelope left by Christian Probyn. Still suspecting the minister was hiding something important, Toby answers the unknown man's call. Sir Christopher Probyn, a retired British diplomat, has been summoned—under the codename Paul Anderson—to be Fergus Quinn's eyes and ears during the operation. After hearing the experienced Probyn's version and with information gathered surreptitiously, the young Crown official discovers that there is much more hidden in the official account. Learning that the truth could have devastating consequences, he is forced to choose between his conscience and his duty to the Service.
