Rating: 4.0
Silent Heroism
John Le Carre is the master of slow-moving, intricately plotted mysterious doings in foreign lands. His method never fails to unnerve me, as I try to figure out what will happen next. What happens next is usally, as in The Tailor of Panama, a crescendo culminating in tragedy although not necessary a "win" for the bad guys. Often, a "lose" for the "good" guys, if a reader can figure out which is which. Which is why I love reading Le Carre and watching the subsequent movie or DVD or both.
