La chica del tambor (The Little Drummer Girl)

by John le Carré

Overview

La acción arranca tras la masacre de Munich y recrea la época más activa del terrorismo palestino. Khalil, un misterioso y audaz terrorista, mantiene en jaque a los servicios secretos israelíes. El Mossad, poniendo en práctica un plan tan maquiavélico como inteligente, capta los servicios involuntarios de Charlie, una actriz inglesa de poca monta y vida bohemia. Charlie es sometida a un durísimo entrenamiento psicológico para que consiga, aun sin saberlo, lo que nadie ha conseguido: atrapar a Khalil.

A lo largo de una trama de alto voltaje, John Le Carré traza un acabado retrato de las complejas facetas emocionales y anímicas de sus personajes, así como de las sofisticadas técnicas del Mossad y el carácter implacable de las guerrillas palestinas.
