TAILOR OF PANAMA, THE by John Le Carre - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
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.
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.
