Single & Single Summary

Single & Single by John Le Carre

A corporate lawyer from the House of Single & Single is shot dead in cold blood on a Turkish hillside for crimes that he does not understand. A children's entertainer in Devon is hauled to his local bank late at night to explain a monumental influx of cash. A Russian freighter is arrested in the Black Sea. A celebrated London financier has disappeared into thin air. A British customs officer is on a trail of corruption and murder. SINGLE & SINGLE is a thrilling journey of the contemporary human heart - intimate, magical, riotous and subtly architected, showing us John le Carre at the height of his dramatic and creative powers.

Single & Single Reviews

Faultless fiction of the highest order. Written with astonishing panache, subtle wit and tremendous style - Glasgow Herald

SINGLE & SINGLE manages to make some serious points about history amid a riot of whoops and skips, genre flourishes and delighted winks to the gallery - Guardian

'..more than just a great storyteller. In SINGLE & SINGLE he captures the Zeitgeist itself - Tom Wolfe

The finest imaginative social historian of the post-war years - Times Literary Supplement

Le Carre tells the story of SINGLE & SINGLE with his usual serpentine brilliance, using all his narrative devices, ruthlessly forcing the reader to wait for information until you feel you are going to burst - The Tablet

Le Carre himself is a magician, using sleight-of-hand to reveal his story s secrets with breathtaking precision - Home and Country

le Carre at his formidable best - Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Le Carre is a history painter in the open air and a miniaturist indoors. He combines a choreographic mastery of the big moment - a revolution, an invasion, a race meeting - with an eye (and ear) for the tiny duplicities of human behaviour in small, secret rooms. One of our best living novelists - New Statesman
