The master of the Cold War spy thriller returns to the aftermath of one of his classic works, and to the ghost of George Smiley.
Call for the Dead (George Smiley Series)
1100715274
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Delicate Truth and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
"Go back to Whitehall and look for more spies on your drawing boards."
George Smiley is no one's idea of a spy—which is perhaps why he's such a natural. But Smiley apparently made a mistake. After a routine security interview, he concluded that the affable Samuel Fennan had nothing to hide. Why, then, did the man from the Foreign Office shoot himself in the head only hours later? Or did he?
The heart-stopping tale of intrigue that launched both novelist and spy, Call for the Dead is an essential introduction to le Carré's chillingly amoral universe.
