A Delicate Truth

John le Carre´s A Delicate Truth is a furiously paced story of moral dilemma, bold action and unexpected love.

Gibraltar, 2008. A counter-terror operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted in Britain´s most precious colony. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms-buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister´s private secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it.
