Review of "Single and Single" by John le Carre

Set against the background of the end of the USSR, and in the context of a company that facilitates dodgy deals, money laundering, offshore ownership, and eventually the logistics for heroin distribution. Not le Carre's usual intelligence agencies setting...the "white hats" are customs officials rather than spooks, though they seem to use much the same methods and have similar access to tradecraft and stuff. Some lovely descriptions of places and people...though the main characters do seem to shimmer a little and not feel as consistent as they might. Still, carried me along and an enjoyable read.
