In this last complete masterpiece from John Le Carré,he asks what you owe to your country when you no longer recognise it?   Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the City for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town.But after only a couple of months into his new career,Edward,a Polish émigré,shows up at his door with a very keen interest in Julian's new enterprise and a lot of knowledge about his family history.And when a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him of a dangerous leak,the investigations lead him to this quiet town by the sea . . .  Please contact seller for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!  N.B.
