John Le Carré signed Our Kind of Traitor

If you want to know about the state of Britain today, forget the Booker shortlist. Just read John le Carré's latest thriller (Evening Standard)

Return of the master . . . Having plumbed the devious depths of the Cold War, le Carré has done it again for our nasty new age (The Times)

Few recent plays have had dialogue as good, and few recent literary novels can boast a set of characters so vividly imagined. Our Kind of Traitor is a teasing, beguiling, masterly performance (Sunday Times)

Don't miss this chance to own a signed copy of Our Kind of Traitor from one of Britain's greatest espionage authors - the late, great John Le Carré. Personalised 'For Tony' on the inside cover.

Known as the man who made espionage an art, the success of his novels allowed him to leave his role as an Intelligence Officer for MI5 & MI6 to become a full-time novelist. Le Carré's intricate plots and complex characters have captivated readers for decades, making this signed copy a highly sought-after collector's item for enthusiasts of the spy genre. 

Britain is in the depths of recession. A left-leaning young Oxford academic and his barrister girlfriend take an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis.

What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain's Intelligence Establishment.
