This acclaimed bestselling novel about spies in “The War on
Terror” is soon to be a major film starring Philip Seymour
Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, and Robin Wright.
A half-starved young Russian man in a long black overcoat is
smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable
amount of cash secreted in a purse around his neck. He is a
devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa.
Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer,
determines to save Issa from deportation. Soon her client's
survival becomes more important to her than her own career -
- or safety. In pursuit of Issa's mysterious past, she
confronts the incongruous Tommy Brue, the sixty-year-old
scion of Brue Frères, a failing British bank based in
Hamburg.
Annabel, Issa and Brue form an unlikely alliance -- and a
triangle of impossible loves is born. Meanwhile, scenting a
sure kill in the "War on Terror," the rival spies of
Germany, England and America converge upon the innocents.
Thrilling, compassionate, peopled with characters the reader
never wants to let go, A Most Wanted Man is a work of deep
humanity and uncommon relevance to our times.
