Proving as adept at the global eco thriller as he was at Cold War page turners, The Constant Gardener combines probing character study with precision plotted and gripping storytelling. Tracking a bereaved husband’s path through a web of international conspiracy and corruption, le Carre’s late masterwork succeeds magnificently on all levels.
'The book breathes life, anger and excitement' Observer
Tessa Quayle, a brilliant and beautiful young social activist, has been found brutally murdered by Lake Turkana in Nairobi. The rumours are that she was faithless, careless, but her husband Justin, a reserved, garden-loving British diplomat, refuses to believe them. As he sets out to discover what really happened to Tessa, he unearths a conspiracy more disturbing, and more deadly, than he could ever have imagined.
A blistering exposé of global corruption, The Constant Gardener is also the moving portrayal of a man searching for justice for the woman he has barely had time to love.
