John Le Carre – A Most Wanted Man – First UK Edition 2008
£65.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Hodder and Stoughton in London, 2008. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper has some slight creasing at the edges and the tips are slightly rubbed. It has been price clipped. The boards, though they are free from notable chips and marks, have a slight lean. The text blocks are bright and white throughout. This copy is free from previous owners ink, and is in near fine condition.
A young Chechen ex-prisoner arrives illegally in Germany, practically uneducated and destitute, but with a claim to a fortune held in a private bank. This novel, set in Hamburg where the author was once a British agent and consul, is based on the contemporary themes of the international war on terror, money laundering, and the conflicting interests of different officers and agents and laymen who are affected. The novel provides an extended, if oblique, critique of the American policy under President George W. Bush of extraordinary rendition.
