From the grand master of cloak-and-dagger comes a tale of Panama, the young country which will gain control of the great canal on December 31, 1999. It is also the tale of an unlikely British agent: Harry Pendel, a charmer, a dreamer, an evader, and presiding genius of Pendel & Braithwaite Co. Limitada, Tailors to Royalty, formerly of London and presently of Panama City. Like every custom tailor, he has access to the intimate secrets and scandals of his rich and powerful clients. Through his spying tailor, le Carre dishes up a savory stew of thrills, intrigue, and even hilarity in this satire on the fate of truth in modern times.
