Our Take
Tessa Quayle is murdered investigating a pharmaceutical company's drug trials in Africa. Her husband Justin, a diplomat who looked the other way, now has to reckon with what his looking away cost. Le Carré makes corporate complicity the subject and the British Foreign Office its instrument.
