About the Book

As usual, le Carré (Our Kind of Traitor) tells a great story in sterling prose --Publishers Weekly In 2008, a covert counter-terror operation codenamed Wildlife is mounted on the Rock of Gibraltar. This one is right off the books: the target codenamed PUNTER; the English boys on land, the American mercenaries by sea; Kit Probyn, Foreign Office upright veteran with a safe pair of hands and no previous experience of the dark arts, to be the Minister's eyes and ears on the ground--his red telephone. Toby Bell, rising Foreign Office star and the Minister's Personal Private Secretary, has been kept out of the loop. Amidst whispers of private armies, bounty, dicey intelligence, corporate wars, he decides to investigate, believing that his boss might have been manipulated. Before long, the worlds of Toby Bell and Kit Probyn collide, and together they navigate a path fraught with dangers both moral and physical. Toby faces intense pressure to stay silent, while Kit wrestles with the guilt stemming from his complicity in the operation. The powerful figures they're up against will stop at nothing to keep them from revealing the truth. But if the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, at what point do these two good men become guilty bystanders? A Delicate Truth, New York Times bestselling author John le Carré's twenty-third novel, is a furiously paced story of moral dilemma, personal guilt, bold action, and unexpected love. Award-winning narrator and AudioFile Golden Voice Simon Jones (BBC Radio's The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) reads this new audio edition.

About the Author :
John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931-2020), was an English author of espionage novels. Eight of his novels made the #1 spot on the New York Times bestsellers list between 1983 and 2017. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, his third book, secured him a worldwide reputation as one of the greatest spy novelists in history. Numerous major motion pictures have been made from his novels, as well as several television series. After attending the universities at Berne and Oxford, he taught at Eton and spent five years in the British Foreign Service, serving briefly in British Intelligence during the Cold War. Being a member of MI6 when he wrote his first novel, Call for the Dead in 1961 in Hamburg, it necessitated the use of a nom de plume, by which he continued to be known. His writing earned him several honorary doctorate degrees and the Somerset Maugham Award, the Goethe Medal, and the Olof Palme Prize. Simon Jones is an English actor and award-winning audiobook narrator. Besides winning many AudioFile Earphones Awards for narration, he has won the prestigious Audie Award for best narration, including for top prize of Audiobook of the Year. He was named a "Golden Voice" by AudioFile magazine and as "Narrator of the Year" in 2005 by Publishers Weekly. As an actor, he has been featured in numerous Broadway productions and has appeared in the films The Devil's Own, Twelve Monkeys, For Love or Money, Green Card, Brazil, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, and Miracle on 34th Street remake. His television appearances include a role in The Cosby Mysteries and Murder She Wrote. He studied at Cambridge University and the legendary Cambridge Footlights Dramatic Club.

Review :
The narrative dominoes fall with masterly precision....As ever, le Carré's prose is fluid, carrying the reader toward an inevitable yet nail-biting climax."
