A half-starved young Russian man in a long black overcoat is smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable amount of cash secreted in a purse around his neck. He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa.

Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer, determines to save Issa from deportation. Soon her client's survival becomes more important to her than her own career -- or safety. In pursuit of Issa's mysterious past, she confronts the incongruous Tommy Brue, the sixty-year-old scion of Brue Frères, a failing British bank based in Hamburg.

Annabel, Issa and Brue form an unlikely alliance -- and a triangle of impossible loves is born. Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the "War on Terror," the rival spies of Germany, England and America converge upon the innocents.

Thrilling, compassionate, peopled with characters the reader never wants to let go, A Most Wanted Man is a work of deep humanity and uncommon relevance to our times.

I've read some GREAT LaCarré books, and this one was good, but wasn't his best.

was ok

Perhaps a bit predictable but full of interesting and likable characters. Fast paced and understandably critical of the “war on terror”.

Exactly what I dig about LeCarre.

Not as complex a storyline as other LeCarre novels, it is a superb tale of good intentions going bad in an ugly world. The performance is first rate, too.

Superb!

This is a very zippy tale with many of Le Carre's common themes: the misguided hippie girl, the wise older spy who's so much better than his bureaucratic superiors, the heavy-handed idiocy of American foreign policy. There's not much more than that, but as always it's well done and all characters are expertly drawn. A Perfect Spy and Absolute Friends are better novels for me that go farther than this, but you can't go wrong with this author.

Good Le Carre, nothing extraordinary

His latest is A Most Wanted Man, and it is up to his usual standards. The enemy now are Islamic radicals, but the operators portrayed here are probably innocent. The man in the middle is trying to develop them as leads into a terrorist network - resources that are badly needed. But he is opposed by those who not interested in anything so subtle - they want to arrest them, using dubious means, and torture them: mainly American operatives.

Good story

If you like Le Carrie’s writing style then you will like this book. The story is engaging and less complex than many of his stories, with a timeline that is mostly linear. In typical Le Carre fashion, the character development is robust to the point that I think I would recognize any of them if I met them on the street. The accents are a bit confusing at first but you get used to it as the story progresses. The challenge is that in the story, very little of the dialog is in English so the accent is used to imply that the conversation is being conducted in German or Russian. After getting used to that, I think it works well to convey the storyline. Le Carre’s descriptions of the places in the story are very detailed making you fell like you are standing in the room listening to the scene as it unfolds, and feeling the stress and discomfort that the characters are feeling. I found the end of the story to be very abrupt, as if Le Carre had run out of paper or was faced with a deadline. After a very carefully developed story, the end seems to come as an unanticipated guillotine to the story, leaving several loose ends to be tied up by the reader. But aside from that, I found the audio book enjoyable and entertaining and would recommend it for a listening choice.

Very engaging story

Urbane, complex, probing, and compelling. John Le Carr? has not lost his stuff. The best spy books always make you remember why spies are necessary, even if we'd all like to pretend that they aren't real or that governments could possibly conduct all relations with foreign powers in the open.

This is an up to the minute tale that forces the listener to confront the moral dilemmas of the characters as if they were one's own. Trying to do the right thing is not always as simple as it seems. What if the right thing to do is inhumane?

Sophisticated Spy

Le Carre & Rees come up with a winning combination. A brilliant book, with an intriguing plot presented in a superb prose. Le Carre spins another fascinating moral tale about out times. While Rees' ability to create characters and accents are equally commendable. Many people might deplore the story's anti US-CIA tone. Le Carre earlier works did serve American interests. However the world has changed, since the fall of the Evil Empire. It needed to find a new enemy to justify its political pragmatism. The global reality is very different from outside of the USA, then within. Le Carre's newer works hit upon those chords and experiences with formidable accuracy.

Le Carre & Rees a fine blend!
