Synopsis

Soon to be a major TV series from the critically acclaimed team who brought you THE NIGHT MANAGER, starring BIG LITTLE LIES' Alexander Sarsgard and LADY MACBETH's Florence Pugh

The Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the 1984 Edgar Award

From the master of spy thrillers, John le Carre, comes a thrilling, intricate tale of Middle Eastern intrigue. Charlie, a brilliant and beautiful young English actress, is seduced by Israeli intelligence officer Joseph. But this duplicitous liaison will in fact lead her to her most dangerous role yet.

Forced to play decoy in a mission to ensnare an elusive Palestinian terrorist, Charlie must lead him into a delicate trap, at the risk of falling in it herself. . .

Deftly navigating readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage, le Carre's skill and knowledge are unsurpassed, and have earned him unprecedented worldwide acclaim. THE LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL is an electrifying and deeply moving novel, perhaps more relevant today than ever.
