Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A counter-terror operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted in Britain's most precious colony, Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms-buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister's Private Secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it. Suspecting a disastrous conspiracy, Toby attempts to forestall it, but is promptly posted overseas. Three years on, summoned by Sir Christopher Probyn, retired British diplomat, to his decaying Cornish manor house, and closely watched by Probyn's daughter Emily, Toby must choose between his conscience and his duty to the Service. If the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing, how can he keep silent? 'No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his times, from the Second World War to the 'War on Terror'' Guardian 'The master of the modern spy novel returns . . . this is writing of such quality that - as Robert Harris put it - it will be read in one hundred years. John le Carre was never a spy-turned-writer, he was a writer who found his canvas in espionage, as Dickens did in other worlds. The two men deserve comparison' Daily Mail 'A brilliant climax, with sinister deaths, casual torture, wrecked lives and shameful compromises' Observer 'With A Delicate Truth, le Carre has in a sense come home. And it's a splendid homecoming . . . the novel is the most satisfying, subtle and compelling of his recent oeuvre' The Times John le Carre was born in 1931 and attended the universities of Bern and Oxford. He taught at Eton and served briefly in British Intelligence during the Cold War. For the last fifty years he has lived by his pen. He divides his time between London and Cornwall.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : En 'Una verdad delicada', John le Carré nos sumerge en una operación antiterrorista encubierta llamada 'Wildlife', llevada a cabo en Gibraltar. El objetivo es capturar a un comprador de armas yihadista de alto valor. Sin embargo, la operación es tan delicada que ni siquiera el secretario privado del Ministro está al tanto. Tres años después, un soldado de las Fuerzas Especiales revela un mensaje desde la tumba, cuestionando el éxito de la operación y sugiriendo un encubrimiento. Toby Bell, un diplomático retirado, debe elegir entre su conciencia y su deber al Servicio, enfrentándose a la pregunta de cómo puede permanecer en silencio si el triunfo del mal solo requiere que los hombres buenos no hagan nada.
