THE SEVENTH GEORGE SMILEY NOVEL A Soviet defector has been assassinated on English soil and
George Smiley is called back to the Circus to clear up - and cover up - the mess. But what he
discovers sends him delving into the past on a trail through Hamburg and Paris to Cold War
Berlin - and a final showdown with his elusive nemesis Karla. The concluding part of le
Carré's celebrated Karla Trilogy Smiley's People sees the last confrontation between the
indefatigable spymaster and his great enemy as their rivalry comes to a shattering end. 'An
enormously skilled and satisfying work' Newsweek 'We are all Smiley's people a kind of secular
god of intelligence' New Yorker
