Single & Single

By: John le Carré

Narrated by: Charles Armstrong

"The tale is energized by le Carre's breathtaking versatility with settings and voices, and his authoritative portrayal of the way things are done in the shifty world succeeding his former Cold War preoccupations. […] le Carré is never less than a riveting writer."—Publishers Weekly

When a corporate lawyer from the London finance house of Single & Single is executed in Turkey without an inkling as to why, it triggers a series of events that threaten to bring an international crime syndicate to its knees.

The murder also pulls one Oliver Hawthorne from his life as a children's magician in Devon, stripping away any illusion of normalcy thrusting him back into the world of corruption run by one of the eponymous Single's: charismatic financier and money launderer, "Tiger" Single. Tiger also happens to be Oliver's father.

Having reported Tiger's criminal activity to British Customs and Excise some years prior, Oliver's guilt over his betrayal still lingers. So when the chance to help his father earn full immunity arises, he takes it, beginning a dangerous pursuit that will force him to confront everything he thought he believed.

From the bestselling author of The Perfect Spy and The Night Manager, John le Carré, Single & Single explores the price of morality in a world ruled by greed, and asks what principles we might set aside if it means protecting family. Actor Charles Armstrong narrates this new audio edition.
