About the Book
When beautiful Tessa Quayle is murdered in Kenya, her husband John, an amateur gardener and British diplomat, receives another shock--she may have been having an affair with her traveling companion, a respected doctor who is now missing. Hardened, Justin sets out to find Tessa's killers and their motives, but what he learns makes him a suspect among his own colleagues--and a target for his wife's killers.Book Synopsis
The Constant Gardener is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by New York Times bestselling author John le Carré, one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of Tessa Quayle -- young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers as well. A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carré portrays the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he can. In The Constant Gardener he tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through tragedy, as Justin Quayle -- amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat -- discovers his own natural resources and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love.Review Quotes
