The Russia House

John le Carré's first post-glasnost novel follows Barley Blair, a small-time publisher with a taste for whisky and jazz, who makes a drunken promise at the Moscow Book Fair and, a year later, finds himself pulled reluctantly into a British Intelligence operation. A patient, humane spy story about loneliness, trust, and the fragile possibilities of a thaw, with all the moral murk you want from le Carré.

Condition: Good - The cover shows visible edge wear, corner rubbing, and some surface scuffing consistent with a well-read paperback.
