A Most Wanted Man by John le Carré
A Most Wanted Man picks up the al-Qaeda theme but roots it in one of le Carré’s old stamping grounds - Hamburg, where he served as a political consul in his Foreign Office days.
It’s strange that Hamburg - one of the richest cities in Europe, with one of the biggest ports - has been so little written about. Particularly strange, given that three of the September 11 hijackers, and several fellow al-Qaeda cell members and plotters, came from Hamburg. Mohammed Atta, the most famous of the hijackers, was a regular worshipper in one of Hamburg’s smaller mosques. So it’s no surprise that those mosques are now jammed with informants for the secret services of America, Britain and Germany.
