THE FIFTH GEORGE SMILEY NOVEL 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. The first
part of 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 Smiley and his wily Soviet
counterpart. 'Le Carré's masterwork' William Boyd 'A great thriller the best le Carré has
written' Spectator
