The Cold War is at its height and the Department is dying for a piece of the action. Swiftly becoming carried away by fear and pride, the Department and her officers send deactivated agent Fred Leiser back into East Germany, armed only with some schoolboy training and his memories of the war. In the land of eloquent silence that is Communist East Germany, Leiser's fate becomes inseparable from the Department's.

Sammen med sin kjæreste, advokat Gail Perkins, blir han allerede på dag to av drømmeferien utfordret til et parti tennis av Dima. Det unge paret får god kontakt med den karismatiske, russiske mangemillionæren. Han ser på de to som sin billett til Vesten, og Perry tar på seg oppdraget med å formidle Dimas ønsker til MI6. Men planen skal få skjebnesvangre konsekvenser for alle tre. Hva er forskjellen mellom britiske helter og russiske oligarker når det kommer til stykket? John le Carré har skrevet en fengslende og engasjerende roman som problematiserer motiver og moral hos alle de involverte, og hvor grådighet og korrupsjon er fremtredende.

Stella Rode has twice disturbed the ancient cloisters of Carne School: firstly by being the wrong sort, with her doilies and china ducks, and secondly by being murdered. George Smiley, who has his own connection with the school, is asked by an old Service friend to investigate. Smiley knows that Stella feared her husband would murder her, but as he probes further beneath Carne's respectable veneer, he uncovers far more than a simple crime of passion. In his second novel, le Carré moves outside the world of espionage to reveal the secrets at the heart of another particularly English institution. The result is a pitch-perfect murder mystery, with George Smiley as master detective. THE SECOND GEORGE SMILEY NOVEL'Beautifully intelligent, satiric and witty' Daily Telegraph
