Description:

From the #1 New York Times  bestselling author of  A Legacy of Spies  and  The Night Manager , now an AMC miniseries

With the Cold War fought and won, British spymaster Tim Cranmer accepts early retirement to rural England and a new life with his alluring young mistress, Emma. But when both Emma and Cranmer’s star double agent and lifelong rival, Larry Pettifer, disappear, Cranmer is suddenly on the run, searching for his brilliant protégé, desperately eluding his former colleagues, in a frantic journey across Europe and into the lawless, battered landscapes of Moscow and southern Russia, to save whatever of his life he has left. . . . 

Praise for *Our Game*

“As thrilling as le Carré gets . . . The novel has the heartstop duplicity of  A Perfect Spy  and some of the outraged honor of  The Night Manager  and  The Little Drummer Girl.” — *The Boston Globe*

“Furious in action . . . takes us by the neck on page one and never lets go.” — *Chicago Sun-Times*

“Irresistible . . . a sinuous plot, leisurely introduced, whose coils become increasingly constricting. There is crisp, intelligent dialogue, much of it riding an undercurrent of menace. And there is a hero who does not see himself as heroic but who struggles with inner demons as much as with the forces arrayed against him.” — *Time*

“Gripping.” — *The Christian Science Monitor *
