John Le Carre

Author Book List

British Secret Service agent George Smiley has a world-class problem: he has discovered a mole--a Soviet double agent who has managed to burrow his way up to the highest level of British Intelligence. Smiley must use a lifetime's worth of espionage skills to ferret out a spy who's gotten too close for comfort.

John le Carre's classic novels deftly navigate readers
through the intricate shadow worlds of international
espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge and have
earned him -- and his hero, British Secret Service agent
George Smiley -- unprecedented worldwide acclaim.

A modern masterpiece in which le Carre expertly creates a
total vision of a secret world, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier,
Spy" begins George Smiley's chess match of wills and wits
with Karla, his Soviet counterpart.

It is now beyond doubt that a mole, implanted decades ago by
Moscow Centre, has burrowed his way into the highest
echelons of British Intelligence. His treachery has already
blown some of its most vital operations and its best
networks. It is clear that the double agent is one of its
own kind. But which one? George Smiley is assigned to
identify him. And once identified, the traitor must be
destroyed.
