The Constant Gardener is a magnificent exploration of the new world
order by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our
time. The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of
Tessa Quayle -- young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband
Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the
mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a
suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers
as well.
A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in
political conflict, John le Carre portrays the dark side of
unbridled capitalism as only he can. In The Constant Gardener he
tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through

ineffectual bureaucrat -- discovers his own natural resources and
the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love.
