Title: Le Carre doesn't need the Cold War to be riveting
Review: This post-Cold War novel is told from the slightly warped first-person perspective of a retired British spymaster. How he goes from country gentleman to a wanted criminal on the run, to toting a Kaloshnikov in the Caucasus is the subject of this masterfully written story - a story about the disorienting power of love and loyalty. This dialog in this book is as good as any other Le Carre novel, although those expecting the bad guys to get their big comeuppance at the end will be disappointed. It's not even all that clear who the bad guys are, or even who the sane guys are, if any
