Watch a video                  The unrivaled master of spy fiction returns with a taut and suspenseful tale of dirty money and dirtier politics.    For nearly half a century, John le Carré's limitless imagination has enthralled millions of readers   and moviegoers around the globe. From the cold war to the bitter fruits of colonialism to unrest in the Middle East,   he has reinvented the spy novel again and again. Now, le Carré makes his Viking debut with a stunning tour-de-  force that only a craftsman of his caliber could pen. As menacing and flawlessly paced as The Little Drummer   Girl and as morally complex as The Constant Gardener, Our Kind of Traitor is signature le Carré.  Perry and Gail are idealistic and very much in love when they splurge on a tennis vacation at a posh   beach resort in Antigua. But the charm begins to pall when a big-time Russian money launderer enlists their help to   defect. In exchange for amnesty, Dima is ready to rat out his vory (Russian criminal brotherhood)   compatriots and expose corruption throughout the so-called legitimate financial and political worlds. Soon, the   guileless couple find themselves pawns in a deadly endgame whose outcome will be determined by the victor of the   British Secret Service's ruthless internecine battles.
