In this provocative tale from bestselling spy novelist John le Carre, two Turkish Muslims are living in Hamburg when they kindly offer shelter to a desperate homeless man named Issa. Their act of kindness soon turns into a full-on red alert in three different countries when it is revealed that Issa is in fact a wanted terrorist. Innocent people are soon pulled into a complicated maze of spies and government conspiracies, raising many questions about the nature of morality and what is right or true. Le Carre is the author of the great spy classic THE SPY WHO CAME IN THE FROM THE COLD. THE MOST WANTED MAN was selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.
