A special edition of John le Carré's thrilling novel of espionage and betrayal in the Middle East, to tie in with the BBC series starring Alexander Skarsgård, Michael Shannon and Florence Pugh.

Charlie, a jobbing young English actress, is accustomed to playing different roles. But when the mysterious, battle-scarred Joseph recruits her into the Israeli secret services, she enters the dangerous 'theatre of the real'.

External Reviews

'An exciting story, excitingly told' - The Observer.

'A masterclass in slow burn' - The Telegraph.

"If a good book is one that immerses you in the fictional world it creates and makes you see and feel every moment of the characters lives and actions, then The Little Drummer Girl is a study in what a good book should be. I wondered if I would be swept up in it again as I was when I was young, romantic and impressionable. The answer is a resounding yes." - Goodreads Review.
