A Delicate Truth by John le Carré
A morally complex political thriller about a covert British operation that goes disastrously wrong, the quiet civil servant who stumbles upon the cover-up, and the ripple effects when truth collides with government secrecy. As a determined attempt to expose what happened draws in a handful of disparate characters — including military officers, politicians and former intelligence figures — loyalties are tested and the personal costs of holding power to account become painfully clear. The novel interrogates the ethics of modern statecraft, the hazards of plausible deniability, and the human fallout of decisions made in the shadows.
