The Tailor of Panama by John LeCarre

Thank you to Dave, who found the inscription in a Denver thrift store and says,
“The Tailor of Panama always reminds me of the fairy tale ‘Brave Little Tailor‘.
In both cases, remarks by the tailor are misunderstood as describing deeds
greater than the truth, and the story snowballs into a great adventure.”
