Two young lovers treat themselves to a once-in-a-lifetime holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. He's an austere tutor at Oxford. She's a sparky rising London barrister. Their native Britain is floundering in debt. On the second day of their holiday they encounter a rich, charismatic fifty-something Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula, wears a diamond encrusted Rolex watch, has a tattoo on the knuckle of his right thumb and wants a game of tennis. What else Dima wants is the engine that drives John le Carr�'s majestic, thrilling, tragic, funny and utterly engrossing new novel of greed and corruption, from the arctic hells of the gulag archipelago to a billionaire's yacht anchored off the Adriatic coast; to the Men's Final of the French Open tennis championships at the Roland Garros stadium; to two murky Swiss bankers dubbed Peter and the Wolf; and finally and fatally to a Swiss alpine resort nestling in the shadow of the north face of the Eiger and the story's terrifying end.

His Kind of Venom
Once again Le Carré displays his superb skill as a storyteller, but again he ruins his story through a pervasive bitterness toward the West; i.e., Britain and America, and their governments. What was a tolerable skepticism in his early works (cf. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold) has become virtually an obsession, and this work only leaves a sense of the sour venom that motivates its author.

Not my cup of tea
It was a disappointment. The most boring book I have read of late. Was there a point to it?

a better "recent" Le Carre
one of his better books in a while. Great storytelling.
