It was le Carré's final novel to be published before his death in 2020. The novel is set in 2018 and depicts the relationship between Nat (né Anatoly), a 47-year-old member of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and a young man (Ed) who he plays badminton with weekly. After their matches, Ed likes to rant about Brexit and the American president at the time, to which Nat quietly listens and tacitly agrees. Meanwhile, Nat is running an operation to monitor a Ukrainian oligarch living in London. Through this mission, one of Nat's agents reveals that Ed is a double agent working for Russia to undermine the European Union. Nat's MI6 colleagues begin to suspect Nat of abetting him and grill him. Through their questioning and Nat's continued investigation, Operation Jericho is revealed - a plan for the U.K. to use double agents to take down the E.U. for the U.S.'s benefit. ***In an extract from the novel published prior to publication, The Guardian describes how "Nat admits to serious reservations about the idea of England "as the mother of all democracies", describing the country as in freefall, with "a minority Tory cabinet of 10th-raters --- Labour no better. The sheer bloody lunacy of Brexit". Boris Johnson is described in the book as a "pig-ignorant foreign secretary". John le Carré's editor at Viking Books, Mary Mount, has said that "The thing about Le Carré is that he's always been as much at home in Europe as Britain. A man with his experience of the Cold War could not walk away from the divisions in Britain, and between Britain and Europe. After the referendum, there was no choice for him except to look at where we are now. It is incredibly prescient, and a very emotional book in terms of how connected he feels to the history of Britain and Europe. There's no looking away, he addresses the very current political crisis"'.
