A half-starved young Russian man in a long black overcoat is smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable amount of cash secreted in a purse round his neck. He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa. Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer, determines to save Issa from deportation. Soon her client's survival becomes more important to her than her own career. In pursuit of Issa's mysterious past, she confronts the incongruous Tommy Brue, the sixty-year-old scion of Brue Freres, a failing British bank based in Hamburg. A triangle of impossible loves is born. Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the so-called War on Terror, the spies of three nations converge upon the innocents.

It is also a work of deep humanity, and uncommon relevance to our times.

Leamas is finished. Every agent he ran in the field has been remorselessly hunted and killed. It is time to come home, to come in from the cold. But in the moral ambiguities of the Cold War, nothing is ever as it seems - particularly where George Smiley is involved. With its thrillingly effective atmosphere and lean, brilliant prose, John le Carre's breakthrough novel is a suspenseful masterpiece, and a gripping insight into the unforgiving ethics of espionage. With it, he changed the rules of the game, and was rocketed to worldwide fame.

Annabel, jeune avocate idéaliste travaillant pour une association d'aide aux immigrés, se jure de sauver Issa de l'expulsion, au point de faire passer la survie de son client avant sa propre carrière. Tommy Brue, patron sexagénaire d'une banque anglaise en perdition sise à Hambourg, détient les clefs de l'héritage interlope du père d'Issa. Ces trois âmes innocentes forment un triangle amoureux désespéré, sur lequel vont fondre les espions de trois nations différentes, tous résolus à marquer des points pour leur camp dans la guerre avouée contre le terrorisme et la guerre inavouable entre leurs services respectifs. Peuplé de personnages inoubliables, Un homme très recherché fait la part belle à un humour caustique, tout en entretenant une tension croissante jusqu'à une scène finale poignante. Cette ?uvre pleine d'une profonde humanité, ancrée dans les turbulences de notre époque où des forces en constante mutation se percutent partout dans le monde, révèle une vision d'ensemble réfléchie, sombre, impressionnante de logique et d'acuité.
