My Review

First George Smiley novel. Really a novella rather than a novel. This isn't an espionage book, but a mystery.

Publisher Description

Le Carre's first book which introduces George Smiley. Smiley investigates the apparent suicide of Samuel Fennan, who worked in the Foreign Office and had been under investigation due to his communist background at Oxford.
