Book summaryTed Mundy has lived a very complicated life. Now working as a tour guide in Germany (and spending most of his time dodging creditors), Ted was once a spy for the British government. Life is difficult but predictable for the disillusioned Ted until he encounters his old friend and fellow former spy, Sasha. Sasha has big, seemingly idealistic plans--plans that involve Ted and a wealthy philanthropist named Dimitri. Getting involved in Sasha's scheme could make Ted a very wealthy man. But who is Dimitri? And why is all his money tied to Middle Eastern bank accounts? Media reviews"ABSOLUTE FRIENDS is intentionally provocative, and it will win the desired outrage from those who support the Bush policies, just as it will please those who oppose them. It is a polemic, in a tradition that goes back to Shakespeare's portrait of Richard III, Swift's modest proposal and Orwell's 1984. History can decide whether Le Carré is right or wrong, prophet or crank, but no one can deny that for the world's leading spy novelist, a man with roots deep in British intelligence, to take on the White House with such ferocity is a political event of note, whatever its literary merits." |
