Synopsis

From the author of THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY, SMILEY'S PEOPLE and THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, a tale of espionage in which George Smiley embarks on a mission to catch a Soviet mole who has been operating for some thirty years.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Smiley and his people are facing a remarkable challenge: a mole - a soviet double agent - who has burrowed his way in and up to the highest level of British Intelligence. His treachery has already blown some of their vital operations and their best networks. The mole is one of their own kind. But which one?

''His people are full-bodied, believable individuals, the minor characters as vivid as the main cast ... a stunning story'
