Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

English

By (author): John le Carre

The first part of John le Carré's acclaimed Karla Trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sees the beginning of the stealthy Cold War cat-and-mouse game between the taciturn, dogged George Smiley and his wily Soviet counterpart.

A mole, implanted by Moscow Centre, has infiltrated the highest ranks of the British Intelligence Service, almost destroying it in the process. And so former spymaster George Smiley has been brought out of retirement in order to hunt down the traitor at the very heart of the Circus - even though it may be one of those closest to him.

'A stunning story' Wall Street Journal

'A great thriller, the best le Carré has written' Spectator

About John le Carre

John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the University of Bern then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5 & 6). He published his debut novel Call for the Dead in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold secured him a worldwide reputation which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. At the end of the Cold War le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. His memoir The Pigeon Tunnel was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel A Legacy of Spies appeared in 2017. He died on 12 December 2020. His posthumous novel Silverview was published in 2021.
