Inom kort får han kontakt med Edward, en verserad herre som bor i Silverview, det mäktiga huset i utkanten av staden. Men vad finns i Edwards förflutna och varför är han så intresserad av Julian? Spåren leder till en av underrättelsetjänstens mörkare hemligheter, och till en läcka som kan få ödesdigra konsekvenser.Silverview är John le Carrés sista roman. Det är en berättelse om kampen mellan professionell plikt och individuell moral, och om vad vi är skyldiga dem vi älskar.
