Set in Hamburg, Germany, le Carré's novel explores contemporary matters related to the international war on terror through characters inspired by the real-life story of Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish citizen and German legal resident who was detained and tortured in American military detention camps, first at Kandahar in Afghanistan, and then at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, before being released in 2006.
