Con a delicate truth, le carré è in un certo senso tornato a casa. Ed è uno splendido ritorno a casa.. Il romanzo è il più soddisfacente, sottile e avvincente della sua recente opera' the times un'operazione antiterrorismo, nome in codice wildlife, è in corso nella colonia più preziosa della gran bretagna, gibilterra. Il suo scopo: catturare e rapire un acquirente di armi jihadista di alto valore. L'operazione è così delicata che persino il segretario privato del ministro, toby bell, non è autorizzato a farla.

Tre anni dopo, convocato da sir christopher probyn, diplomatico britannico in pensione, nella sua decadente casa padronale in cornovaglia, e attentamente sorvegliato dalla figlia di probyn, emily, toby deve scegliere tra la sua coscienza e il suo dovere verso il servizio.

John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, 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, Call for the Dead, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. 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, The Pigeon Tunnel, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel, A Legacy of Spies, appeared in 2017. He died on 12 December 2020. His posthumous novel, Silverview, was published in 2021.
