John le Carre’s latest literary achievement, ‘Our Kind of Traitor’, is an exceptionally special abridged CD audiobook reading from the author himself.

When Britain hits a recession, Oxford lecturer Perry Makepiece and his barrister girlfriend Gail Perkins take some time out on an off-peak vacation on the island of Antigua. This is where they meet the self-professed ‘number one money launderer’, Dima, who throws their previously unremarkable holiday completely off-course. The young couple soon find themselves involved in a complex, suspenseful and fast-paced world of underhand scheming and corrupt politics.

‘Our Kind of Traitor’ is an intense thriller, demonstrating John le Carre’s superior writing craft and ability to finely sculpt a plot into a twisting, turning fusion of genius. Retaining the exceptional quality that one would expect from a BBC audiobook, this abridged author’s reading is among the best of le Carre titles available to download as audiobooks on MP3 and CD.

An absolute must for all fans of the award winning, internationally bestselling master of the thriller genre, John Le Carre. This is your opportunity to hear this remarkable story of financial corruption and unholy alliances in the author’s own words, exactly how he intended it to be read. Considering Le Carre’s reputation for being an exceptionally private man, this BBC audiobook on CD and MP3 download is an absolutely essential addition to any fan’s collection.
