New York Times - John le Carré’s latest novel, “A Most Wanted Man,” is set in Hamburg, Germany, the city where Mohamed Atta and other members of Al Qaeda prepared for their assault on the United States — a “guilty city,” in one character’s words, which hatched this terrorist cell, and which, in the years since the attacks, has become a focal point for German, American and British intelligence. It is in post-9/11 Hamburg that operatives from those three intelligence agencies play out a high-stakes game of surveillance and detention in this novel, and it is here that one illegal immigrant and terrorist suspect, and several earnest, liberal do-gooders, are caught in their nets of manipulation and betrayal.
