Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: A George Smiley Novel

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Legacy of Spies . The man he knew as "Control" is dead, and the young Turks who forced him out now run the Circus. But George Smiley isn't quite ready for retirement-especially when a pretty, would-be defector surfaces with a shocking accusation: a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest level of British Intelligence. Relying only on his wits and a small, loyal cadre, Smiley recognizes the hand of Karla-his Moscow Centre nemesis-and sets a trap to catch the traitor. The Oscar-nominated feature film adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is directed by Tomas Alfredson ( Let the Right One In ) and features Gary Oldman as Smiley, Academy Award winner Colin Firth ( The King's Speech ), and Tom Hardy ( Inception ). With an introduction by the author.
