‘A Most Wanted Man’

By Jessica Schneider Oct 10, 2008, 12:50 GMT

Such is the title to the latest by John le Carré. USA Today calls him a “master of the spy novel.”

According to USA Today:“With The Most Wanted Man, his 21st book, he cleverly builds an international story of intrigue — packed with biting commentary — around a contemporary hot-button issue: the post-9/11 paranoia that has the world's intelligence agencies scrambling to ferret out suspected and known terrorists at any cost.”Publishers Weekly notes:“The book works best in its depiction of the rivalries besetting even post-9/11 intelligence agencies that should be allies, but none of the characters is as memorable as George Smiley or Magnus Pym. Still, even a lesser le Carré effort is far above the common run of thrillers.”Click here for the full USA Today review. Scribner is the publisher.
