Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: A George Smiley Novel
John Le Carré
(Author)
Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Legacy of Spies. The man he knew as Control is dead, and the young Turks who forced him out now run the Circus. But George Smiley isn't quite ready for retirement--especially when a pretty, would-be defector surfaces with a shocking accusation: a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest level of British Intelligence. Relying only on his wits and a small, loyal cadre, Smiley recognizes the hand of Karla--his Moscow Centre nemesis--and sets a trap to catch the traitor. The Oscar-nominated feature film adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) and features Gary Oldman as Smiley, Academy Award winner Colin Firth (The King's Speech), and Tom Hardy (Inception). With an introduction by the author.Product Details

Reviews
"The premier spy novelist of his time. Perhaps of all time."--Time "A rattling good novel."--San Francisco Chronicle "John le Carré is the great master of the spy story...the constant flow of emotion lifts him not only above all modern suspense novelists, but above most novelists now practicing."--Financial Times "Stunning."--Wall Street Journal
