Cerca del lago Turkana, en el norte de Kenia, Tessa Quayle, una mujer joven y bella es asesinada.

Cerca del lago Turkana, en el norte de Kenia, Tessa Quayle, una mujer joven y bella es asesinada. Su supuesto amante africano y compañero de viaje, un médico al servicio de una ONG, ha desaparecido del escenario del crimen. El marido de Tessa, Justin, aficionado a la jardinería y diplomático destinado a la embajada británica de Nairobi, emprende su particular odisea para descubrir a los asesinos y sus motivos. Sus indagaciones lo llevan al Foreign Office de Londres, a varios paísesde Europa, a Canadá y de nuevo a África, a lo más profundo del sur de Sudán, y por último al lugar mismo donde Tessa murió. En el camino encontrará terror, violencia, situaciones cómicas, conspiraciones e información. Pero su mayor descrubrimiento será la mujer a la que apenas tuvo tiempo de amar. Escrita por uno de los narradores más sólidos y elegantes de nuestro tiempo, El jardinero fiel es la conmovedora historia de un hombre ennoblecido por la tragedia, y una magnifica exploración de la cara oculta del capitalismo desenfrenado.

John le Carré, pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931–2020), was a British novelist known for redefining espionage literature. Before fully dedicating himself to writing, he worked for the British intelligence services MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War, an experience that deeply influenced his works. His narrative is characterized by a realistic and morally complex view of espionage, moving away from the genre's stereotypes. He declined official awards and honors, though he was awarded the Goethe Medal in 2011

Among his most notable novels are The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1974), The Little Drummer Girl (1983), The Constant Gardener (2001), and The Tailor of Panama (1996). Many of these works have been adapted into film and television, solidifying his legacy in popular culture. His most iconic character, agent George Smiley, features in several of his novels and symbolizes moral complexity in the world of espionage.
