Our Kind of Traitor by John le Carré is a taut espionage thriller that follows Perry Makepiece, a British academic, and his girlfriend Gail Perkins, a barrister, as they become entangled in a dangerous web of international intrigue. While vacationing in Antigua, they meet Dima, a flamboyant Russian oligarch and self-proclaimed money launderer for the Russian mafia. Dima seeks asylum in Britain and entrusts Perry with sensitive information implicating powerful figures in a global corruption scheme. As Perry and Gail navigate the murky waters of British intelligence, they are drawn into a covert operation led by Hector Meredith, a seasoned but sidelined intelligence officer. The novel explores themes of betrayal, moral compromise, and the blurred lines between justice and self-interest, all set against a backdrop of shifting geopolitical loyalties and personal risk.
