John le Carré, the renowned British author of espionage novels, was known for his keen insight into the complexities of human nature and the political landscape. In his works, he often delved into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals caught in the web of espionage and power struggles. One of the recurring themes in le Carré's writing is the clash between different belief systems and the consequences of disrespecting or challenging established institutions, including religions.

In his novel "The Constant Gardener," le Carré explores the impact of corporate greed and corruption on the lives of ordinary people in Africa. The protagonist, Justin Quayle, is a British diplomat who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving a pharmaceutical company testing a new drug on unsuspecting African villagers. As Justin delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of deceit and manipulation that leads him to question his own beliefs and values.
