About The Book
When Tessa Quayle—a young, beautiful woman and Justin’s beloved wife—is gruesomely murder in northern Kenya, Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death. But 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. The Constant Gardener 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.
