The Tailor of Panama Summary

The Tailor of Panama by John Le Carre

Harry Pendel is the charismatic proprietor of Pendel and Braithwaite Limitada of Panama, through whose doors everyone who is anyone in Central America passes; Andrew Osnard, mysterious and fleshly, is a spy. His secret mission is two-pronged: to keep a watchful eye on the political manoeuvrings leading up to the American handover of the Panama Canal on 31st December 1999; and to secure for himself the immense private fortune that has until now churlishly eluded him.

The Tailor of Panama Reviews

'Arguably his best book since The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. A masterful portrayal of human weaknesses' -- Brian Morton in Times Educational Supplement 'Delightfully pointed and hilarious ...a well-crafted tale whose thread is studded with funny and moving episodes, as well as pointed asides' -- Richard Norton-Taylor in The Guardian 'This is a book with a momentum of its own, a romantic delirium for troubled times...The le Carre of his new book is a tough talker.' -- Karl Miller in The Observer 'Le Carre is on top form - rich, subtle and powerfully imaginative.' -- Maxim magazine 'The tale is told with pace and verve and shows the author on top form' -- Yorkshire Post
