Silverview takes you into the shadowy realm that has fascinated John le Carré throughout his illustrious career. This gripping tale unfolds in a quiet English coastal town, where a retired city professional’s peaceful new life is unexpectedly disturbed.

A compelling exploration of trust, duty, and the blurred lines between personal loyalty and public responsibility.

Julian Lawndsley has left behind his high-powered career in the City to embrace a quieter existence running a bookshop in a small seaside town. But just a few months into this fresh start, his routine is interrupted by an unusual visitor. Edward, a Polish émigré residing in Silverview, the large house on the town’s outskirts, appears to know more about Julian’s family than seems natural and shows an unsettling interest in the workings of his humble shop.
