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.'If you want to know about the state of Britain today, forget the Booker shortlist. Just read John le Carr 's latest thriller' Evening Standard'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
Kassör i ryska maffian som vill hoppa av till England och stoppa maffians uppköp av engelska banker för att göra svarta pengar vita med hjälp av mutade engelska politiker. Mycket tät och spännande bok med många överraskningar och skrivet av spion mästaren John Le Carre. Tycker själv att denna bok tillhör topp 3 av hans spionromaner och denna är ovanligt lättsam trots invecklade intriger. Det som mest präglar boken är VÄNSKAP och handlingen bygger mest på detta.
