Description

Now a significant film from Fernando Meirelles, the Academy-Award-nominated director of City of God The Constant Gardener is just a magnificent exploration of the brand new world order by among the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The book starts in northern Kenya with the grisly murder of Tessa Quayle--young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets on an individual odyssey to discover the mystery of her death, what he finds might make him not just a suspect among their own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers too. A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carre shows the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he is able to.
