The Waterstones Book of the Month for May is A Delicate Truth by John le Carré.
The latest novel by the masterful John le Carré. Set against the backdrop of a covert anti-terror operation in Gibraltar, A Delicate Truth leads the reader into a web of lies and deception and explores the way in which a 21st century cover-up affects the lives of everybody involved. Le Carré has created characters of such depth and moral complexity that to call it a thriller seems almost pejorative. Nevertheless, it is a novel which grabs the reader and doesn't let go until the very end.
