|summary=John Le Carré back where he belongs, in the world of spooks and distrust, but somehow I do feel that he's not as confident here as he was in the old days when we knew our enemy as well as we knew our friends. Now, we're not even sure which is which, or why. A good gripping read as you'd expect, but I found the ending a bit too 'pat'.

Melik is a Turkish heavy-weight boxing champion. He lives with his widowed mother in Hamburg and they are both doing their very best to keep below the radar. Since his father died they don’t even go to the mosque on a regular basis. But this particular weekend Leyla wants to go. Her daughter, still in Turkey, is getting married, and a special prayer seems to be in order. It is a visit that might well end up costing them the eight years good behaviour needed to finally get beyond their tolerated status to enable full German citizenship.
