«Single & Single» is the spy and suspense novel by John Le Carré, published by Coronet Books in paperback (388 pages, in English).
A lawyer at the finance house Single & Single is murdered on a hill in Turkey by people he believed he was doing business with. Meanwhile, a children's entertainer in Devon must explain the sudden arrival of more than five million pounds in his daughter's account, and a London financier disappears without a trace. The investigation connects organised crime in the new Russian republics with the world of legitimate finance in the West, in a story of corruption, feuding families and betrayals.
The book is an English edition of the novel, with 388 pages and in paperback format. The cover promotes it as «The New International Bestseller».
David John Moore Cornwell, known by his pen name John le Carré, was an English author. Many of his espionage novels have been adapted for film or television. He has been described as a "sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer", and is considered one of the greatest novelists of the postwar era. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). Near the end of his life, le Carré became an Irish citizen.
