<p><b>''The best English novel since the war'' Philip Roth</b><br><br>Magnus Pym - ranking diplomat, consummate Englishman, loving husband, secret agent - has vanished. Has he defected? Gone to ground? As the hunt for Pym intensifies, the secrets of his life are revealed: the people he has loved and betrayed, the unreliable con-man father who made him, the two mentors who moulded and shaped him, and now wish to claim this perfect spy as their own. <br><br>Described by le Carr¿s his most autobiographical novel, <i>A Perfect Spy</i> is a devastating portrayal of a man who has played different roles for so long, he no longer knows who he is. <br><br>''Le Carr¿nderstood that espionage is an extreme version of the human comedy, even the human tragedy. <i>A Perfect Spy</i> will very likely remain his greatest book'' <i>New Yorker</i></p>
