Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carre, Sceptre (Hachette), $19.99
One of the world’s most iconic spy thrillers has stood the test of time. First published in 1974, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is back on shelves to coincide with the release of the film adaptation.
George Smiley is a sadder man than his name suggests. Small, podgy, and middle-aged, he’s been kicked out of the British Secret Service and abandoned by his beautiful wife.
He’s the antithesis of James Bond, but does he have what it takes to discover the Soviet mole at the top of British Intelligence?
Le Carre’s classic is well worth a second read for the grim nostalgic glamour of 1970’s London and its complicated Cold War battles.
