Enter the new world of post Cold War espionage. Penetrate the secret world of ruthless arms dealers and drug smugglers who have risen to unthinkable power and wealth. The sinister master of them all is an untouchable Englishman named Roper.

OUR GAME
With the Cold War fought and won, British spymaster Tim Cranmer accepts early retirement to rural England and a new life with his alluring young mistress Emma. But when both Emma and Cranmer's star double agent and lifelong rival, Larry Pettifer, disappear, Cranmer is suddenly on the run, searching for his brilliant protege, desperately eluding his former colleagues, in a frantic journey across Europe and into the lawless, battered landscapes of Moscow and southern Russia, to save whatever of his life he has left....
TAILOR OF PANAMA
Le Carre's Panama is a Casablanca without heroes, a hotbed of drugs, laundered money and corruption. It is also the country which on December 31, 1999, will gain full control of the Panama Canal. Seldom has the weight of politics descended so heavily on such a tiny and unprepared nation. And seldom has the hidden eye of the British Intelligence selected such an unlikely champion as Harry Pendel - a charmer, a dreamer, an evader, a fabulist and presiding genius to the house of Pendel & Braithwaite Co. Limitada, Tailors to Royalty, formerly of London and presently of Panama City. Yet there is a logic to the spies' choice, for everybody who is anybody in Cental America passes through Pendel's doors. He dresses politicos and crooks and conmen. His fitting room hears more confidences than the priest's confessional. And when Harry Pendel doesn't hear things as such - well, he hears them anyway, by other means. In a thrilling, hilarious AudioBook, le Carre once again effortlessly expands the borders of the spy story to bring us a magnificent entertainment straight out of the pages of tomorrow's history.

The Tailor of Panama kept me reading even in the car--on twisty roads.

Klausiau audioknygą, įgarsintą paties autoriaus. Reikia pripažinti, Johnas le Carre yra puikus skaitovas. Tačiau iš trijų istorijų patiko tik „The Night Manager”.

sorry John, I did give you a go, and perhaps actually reading these stories instead of listening (even with you as the reader) would help them along. Unfortunately I racked up the ever rare consecutive DNFs after being buried in endless minutia whilst the Tailor of Panama attempted to gain some relevance and yet another character is introduced to join the party. I am off to revisit an author whose details I can follow, remember and make use of as the story goes. Perhaps I will try again some other time, hence the "it's not you, it's me" 3 stars,

I'm a fan of John Le Carre. Have been since I read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold more than 50 years ago. I also think that the movie Tailor of Panama with Pierce Brosnan and Geoffrey Rush was one of the best film adaptations of his work. That's why I was so disappointed when I finally got around to reading the book.
The fascinating but flawed characters were there. But the story in print just didn't hold my interest.
