ABSOLUTE FRIENDS, by John LeCarre HARDCOVER Little, Brown (2003) FIRST EDITION. A ferocious new novel from the master: when a man's good heart is his worst enemy By chance and not by choice, Ted Mundy, eternal striver, failed writer, and expatriate son of a British Army officer, used to be a spy. But that was in the good old Cold War days, when a cinder-block wall divided Berlin and the enemy was easy to recognize. Today, Mundy is a down-at-the heels tour guide in southern Germany, dodging credi tors, supporting a new family, and keeping all eye out for trouble while in spare moments vigorously questioning the actions of the country he once bravely served.
