The story revolves around a covert British counter-terrorism operation in Gibraltar, code-named Wildlife. Though declared a success by officials, a Foreign Office functionary named Toby Bell suspects otherwise. Years later, he uncovers disturbing truths suggesting the mission went tragically wrong—and was covered up. As Toby digs deeper, aided by an aging diplomat and a guilt-ridden soldier, he faces off against powerful government and corporate forces determined to silence him. The novel is a tense exploration of conscience, betrayal, and the ethical costs of modern intelligence work, written in le Carré’s characteristically elegant and piercing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"1653\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"934\"\u003eAbout the Author –\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"937\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn le Carré \u003c\/strong\u003ewas the pen name of David Cornwell (1931–2020), a British author renowned for redefining the spy novel.
