Le Carre's breakthrough work of 1963 was an award-winning number one global bestseller and brought him international renown, redefining the spy story as a gritty and terrible tale of men who are caught up in politics beyond their imagining.
But when George Smiley tries to help a young woman Leamas has befriended, it may prove the worst thing he could ever have done.
He must travel deep into the heart of Communist Germany and betray his country, a job that he will do with his usual cynical professionalism.
Now Control wants to bring him in at last - but only after one final assignment.
It's the 1960s, he's been out in the Cold for years, spying in the shadow of the Berlin Wall for his British masters.
