<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Israeli intelligence agent Kurtz--aka Schulman, aka Gold, aka Raphael--assembles a private army to trap the most dangerous Palestinian terrorist, a trap that perilously involves a brilliant, young English actress.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy</i>; <i>Our Kind of Traitor; </i>now a miniseries on AMC starring Alexander Skarsgard, Michael Shannon, and Florence Pugh.</b> <p/><i>You want to catch the lion, first you tether the goat.</i> <p/>On holiday in Mykonos, Charlie wants only sunny days and a brief escape from England's bourgeois dreariness. Then a handsome stranger lures the aspiring actress away from her pals--but his intentions are far from romantic. Joseph is an Israeli intelligence officer, and Charlie has been wooed to flush out the leader of a Palestinian terrorist group responsible for a string of deadly bombings. Still uncertain of her own allegiances, she debuts in the role of a lifetime as a double agent in the "theatre of the real." <p/>Haunting and deeply atmospheric, John le Carré's <i>The Little Drummer Girl </i>is a virtuoso performance and a powerful examination of morality and justice. <p/>With an introduction by the author.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A work of enormous power and artistry; no mere 'entertainment'...but fiction on a grand scale."--<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"An irresistible book...Charlie is the ultimate double agent."--<i>The New York Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a con man, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the university of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5&6). He published his debut novel, <i>Call for the Dead</i>, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel, <i>The Spy Who Came in from the Cold</i>, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy <i>Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy</i>, <i>The Honourable Schoolboy</i>, and <i>Smiley's People</i>. At the end of the Cold War, le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. His memoir, <i>The Pigeon Tunnel</i>, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel, <i>A Legacy of Spies</i>, appeared in 2017. He died on December 12, 2020.
