CALL FOR THE DEAD – JOHN LE CARRE

The first of his peerless novels of Cold War espionage and international intrigue, *Call for the Dead* is also the debut of John le Carré’s masterful creation George Smiley. After a routine security check by Smiley, civil servant Samuel Fennan apparently kills himself. When Smiley finds Circus head Maston trying to blame him for the man’s death, he begins his own investigation, meeting with Fennan’s widow to discover what could have driven him to such desperation. On the very day Smiley is ordered off the enquiry, he receives an urgent letter from the dead man. Do the East Germans—and their agents—know more about this death than the Circus previously imagined? Le Carré’s first book introduced the tenacious and retiring George Smiley in a gripping tale of espionage and deceit.

“Intelligent, thrilling, surprising … makes most cloak-and-dagger stuff taste of cardboard” – Sunday Telegraph
