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 Carré 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 tragedy, as Justin Quayle --
amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat
-- discovers his own natural resources and the extraordinary
courage of the woman he barely had time to love.
