Der legendäre George Smiley, ehemaliger Chef des britischen Geheimdienstes, wird noch einmal gebraucht. Aber Smiley spielt nicht mit. Er ermittelt auf eigene Faust, wird sein eigener Agent in dem seltsamsten und erregendsten Fall seiner gesamten Karriere. Ein atemberaubender Kampf beginnt, der Smiley auf einer heißen Fährte durch ganz Europa führt und erst im Schatten der Berliner Mauer sein Ende findet . . .
From the New York Times bestselling author of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; Our Kind of Traitor; and The Night Manager, now a television series starring Tom Hiddleston <p/>Tell Max that it concerns the Sandman... <p/>A very junior agent answers Vladimir's call, but it could have been the Chief of the Circus himself. No one at the British Secret Service considers the old spy to be anything except a senile has-been who can't give up the game--until he's shot in the face at point-blank range. Although George Smiley (code name: Max) is officially retired, he's summoned to identify the body now bearing Moscow Centre's bloody imprimatur. As he works to unearth his friend's fatal secrets, Smiley heads inexorably toward one final reckoning with Karla--his dark "grail." <p/>In Smiley's People, master storyteller and bestselling author John le Carré brings his acclaimed Karla Trilogy to its unforgettable, spellbinding conclusion. <p/>Featuring an introduction by the author.
