A special edition of John le Carré's thrilling novel of espionage and betrayal in the Middle East, to tie in with the new BBC series starring Alexander Skarsgård, Michael Shannon and Florence Pugh
Charlie, a jobbing young English actress, is accustomed to playing different roles. But when the mysterious, battle-scarred Joseph recruits her into the Israeli secret services, she enters the dangerous 'theatre of the real'. As she acts out her part in an intricate, high-stakes plot to trap and kill a Palestinian terrorist, it threatens to consume her.
Set in the tragic arena of the Middle East conflict, this compelling story of love and torn loyalties plays out against the backdrop of an unwinnable war.

Review:
A masterclass in slow burn (Telegraph Online)
Stylish crime drama which gives The Night Manager a run for its money. (The Mirror Online)
The latest le Carré adaptation... this multi-layered novel about Charlie, a Left-wing English actress recruited by Israel to snare a Palestinian terrorist, has been hailed by top thriller writers (including John Grisham) as the perfect espionage novel. (Daily Mail)
John le Carré spy intrigue? Yes. Sun-drenched Euro-locales? Very much so? Heart-throb leading man Alexander Skarsgard baring his backside? Probably... Suffice to say, expectations are high. (Times)
Fans of The Night Manager will be pleased to learn that their John le Carré itch will be scratched later this year with a six-part BBC1 adaptation of The Little Drummer Girl (The Radio Times)
