Praise

“A subtle and acute story of counterespionage marked by restraint, indirection, and intelligence.”
—The New York Times Book Review


“[Le Carré] is one of our great writers of moral ambiguity, a tireless explorer of that darkly contradictory no-man’s-land.”
Los Angeles Times

“Intelligent, thrilling, surprising … makes most cloak-and-dagger stuff taste of cardboard.” ― Sunday Telegraph (London)

“Brilliant. Realistic. Constant suspense.” ― Observer (London)

“The greatest spy novelist of all time … astounding works of the imagination. — Jake Kerridge” ― Daily Telegraph (London)

“Brilliant, popular, intelligent, thrilling, suspenseful, angry, original, masterful writing. Can’t be topped.” — Armando Iannucci
