A Most Wanted Man - John le Carré
A strange thin young Russian-speaking man claiming to be a Chechen Muslim appears in Hamburg. Add in a young passionate German human rights lawyer, a 60-year-old Scottish banker with a cooling marriage and an estranged daughter, a German spy and his female side kick, and the hunt for the young man in order to connect him with a terrorist network. A Most Wanted Man is the latest book from John le Carré, the nom de plume for author David Cornwell.
