Description
In Panama City, Harry Pendel—an ex-con turned celebrated tailor—has built a precarious life stitching suits for the powerful while quietly trading secrets for survival. When a British intelligence contact recruits him to uncover information tied to a high-stakes scheme involving the Panama Canal, Pendel is pulled deeper into a web of corruption where every favor has a price and every measurement can be a trap. Blending sharp social observation with Le Carré’s signature moral unease, the novel explores espionage as a form of commerce, the fragility of identity, and the corrosive effects of power on both individuals and nations. As Pendel navigates shifting loyalties and escalating danger, his pursuit of redemption collides with the ruthless logic of intelligence work.
