A Most Wanted Man by John le Carre

To gauge how deeply much of the rest of the world abhors America’s current notion of justice, read John le Carré’s new novel about the war on terror. Even though American spies occupy little real estate in A Most Wanted Man, they bind its loose ends in a singularly dark fashion.

Set in Hamburg, where several engineers of 9/11 plotted their attack on the United States, le Carré’s latest book stars Issa Karpov, a Chechen refugee smuggled into town in strikingly murky circumstances.
