From John le Carré comes a sharp, satirical espionage thriller that blends dark humour with political intrigue.

Harry Pendel is a tailor in Panama City, crafting suits for the country’s most powerful men. But beneath the surface, he’s hiding a past built on lies and reinvention.

When British intelligence officer Andy Osnard arrives, he sees an opportunity.

Recruiting Harry as an informant, Osnard pressures him to supply intelligence about Panama’s political climate and the future of the Canal. Desperate to maintain his carefully constructed life, Harry begins to fabricate stories—spinning fiction into “intelligence.”

But in the world of espionage, lies have consequences.

As Harry’s inventions are taken as truth by powerful figures, the situation spirals into something far more dangerous—threatening political stability and lives alike.

Clever, cynical, and brilliantly written, this novel exposes the absurdity and danger of misinformation and manipulation.
