Single & Single by John Le Carré, published by the Franklin Library, is a gripping espionage thriller that delves into the shadowy intersections of high finance, organized crime, and international intelligence. The story follows Oliver Single, a lawyer for the dubious merchant bank Single & Single, who becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy after his estranged father, Tiger Single, disappears. When a British customs officer uncovers a mysterious murder linked to the bank, long-buried secrets begin to unravel, exposing corruption that stretches from London to the former Soviet states.
Le Carré masterfully blends sharp political commentary with taut suspense, crafting a tale of betrayal, moral ambiguity, and the cost of loyalty. The Franklin Library edition presents this novel in an elegant, finely bound volume, reflecting its status as a collector’s piece.
