The Constant Gardener

Named One of the 50 Best Thriller Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times

A magnificent exploration of the new world order from New York Times bestselling author John le Carré, one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time.

When Tessa Quayle--a young, beautiful woman and Justin's beloved wife--is gruesomely murder in northern Kenya, Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death. But 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. The Constant Gardener 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.
