Story
Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley, and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinized by a generation with no memory of the Cold War.

There is a reason he’s considered the best.

If you want guns, explosions, violence etc... this is not it. If you enjoy J le C’s splendidly subtle yet complex intrigue this won’t disappoint. If you’ve enjoyed his past work you’ll love how this one weaves in the past. Consider refreshing on the Spy Who Came in from the Cold if you really want to appreciate how well it sews up that story line.
