Tinker tailor soldier spy

John Le Carré, (1931-2020)

Rate this:
George Smiley, the British intelligence officer who is as devastating as he is self-effacing, is not allowed for long to enjoy his well-earned retirement. Moscow Centre has infiltrated a mole into the secret service organisation for which he worked. A mole is a Soviet deep-penetration agent, who "burrows into the fabric of Western imperialism". An old adversary of Smiley's, the enigmatic Karla, is involved - so how can he fail to do the job? As he retraces path after path into his own past there is no longer any difference between the two: forwards or backwards, he has embarked on a blind night walk, with God knows how many bodies at the end. Sequel to "The spy who came in from the cold" (DC00325). Followed by "The honourable schoolboy". 1974. (George Smiley novels ; 4).
