Single & Single - Tapa blanda

'Faultless fiction of the highest order. Written with astonishing panache, subtle wit and tremendous style' [Glasgow Herald] 'SINGLE & SINGLE manages to make some serious points about history amid a riot of whoops and skips, genre flourishes and delighted winks to the gallery' [Guardian] '..more than just a great storyteller. In SINGLE & SINGLE he captures the Zeitgeist itself' [Tom Wolfe] 'The finest imaginative social historian of the post-war years' [Times Literary Supplement] 'Le Carr tells the story of SINGLE & SINGLE with his usual serpentine brilliance, using all his narrative devices, ruthlessly forcing the reader to wait for information until you feel you are going to burst' [The Tablet]

A corporate lawyer from the House of Single & Single is shot dead in cold blood on a Turkish hillside for crimes that he does not understand. A children's entertainer in Devon is hauled to his local bank late at night to explain a monumental influx of cash. A Russian freighter is arrested in the Black Sea. A celebrated London financier has disappeared into thin air. A British customs officer is on a trail of corruption and murder. SINGLE & SINGLE is a thrilling journey of the contemporary human heart - intimate, magical, riotous and subtly architected, showing us John le Carr at the height of his dramatic and creative powers.
