汤米•布鲁伊是曾经骄傲的布鲁伊银行世家的zhang门人。随着这家位于德国汉堡的英国私人银行渐渐日薄西山，布鲁伊告老还乡的日子似乎临近了。然而，一个平常的周五傍晚，一个神秘女人的来电却将年已花甲的布鲁伊卷入了一场充满危险与激情的游戏，虽然这并非他憧憬的那种激情…..

布鲁伊不曾想到，这个嗓音清纯如唱诗班的年轻女子身后却藏匿着一个逃犯——伊萨。至少，从俄罗斯到西欧的各国情报机构都毫不吝惜地将这个恐怖的头衔赠予了他。然而，这个腼腆羞涩、弱不禁风的大男孩真的是一个如此危险的人物吗？他究竟是谁？是骄傲的车臣儿女，如他自称的那样，还是凶残的俄国军官卡波夫的私生子？是虔诚的穆斯林，还是一个从未跨进过清真寺半步的幻想家？是一贫如洗的流浪儿，还是继承了上千万美元黑金的富家子？也许，连他自己也不清楚全部的答案，因为解开这些问题的另一把钥匙掌握在布鲁伊手中……

然而，伊萨的时间不多了，因为一群危险的人物正饶有兴致地通过无处不在的监视网络观察着他和他美丽善良的女保护人。美国中情局、德国保护局、英国情报局…..个个摩拳擦掌，伺机下手。这似乎是一场一边倒的猫鼠游戏。两只天真的小老鼠能从这群恶猫的口中绝处逢生吗？

'One of the most sophisticated fictional responses to the war on terror yet published' Guardian

An illegal Muslim immigrant arrives in Hamburg with a traumatic past and the key to a fortune held in a private bank. He says his name is Issa. To the idealistic young human rights lawyer Annabel, determined to save him from deportation, he is a worthy cause. To the intelligence services of Britain, Germany and America, however, he is a potential jihadist - and a pawn between them as they seek to make a kill in the war on terror.

A Most Wanted Man is a gripping and disquieting story of paranoia, disillusionment and betrayal in the moral no-man's land of the post-9/11 world.

John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the university of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5&6). He published his debut novel, Call for the Dead, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. At the end of the Cold War, le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. His memoir, The Pigeon Tunnel, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel, A Legacy of Spies, appeared in 2017. He died on 12 December 2020.
