From the master of spy thrillers, John le Carre's The Spy Who Came
in from the Cold is a gripping story of love and betrayal at the
height of the Cold War. This Penguin Modern Classics edition
includes an afterword by the author and an introduction by William
Boyd, author of Any Human Heart. Alec Leamas is tired. It's the
1960s, he's been out in the cold for years, spying in the shadow of
the Berlin Wall for his British masters. He has seen too many good
agents murdered for their troubles. Now Control wants to bring him
in at last - but only after one final assignment. He must travel
deep into the heart of Communist Germany and betray his country, a
job that he will do with his usual cynical professionalism. But
when George Smiley tries to help a young woman Leamas has
befriended, Leamas's mission may prove to be the worst thing he
could ever have done. In le Carre's breakthrough work of 1963, the
spy story is reborn as a gritty and terrible tale of men who are
caught up in politics beyond their imagining. 'A portrait of a man
who has lived by lies and subterfuge for so long, he's forgotten
how to tell the truth' Time 'He can communicate emotion, from
sweating fear to despairing love, with terse and compassionate
conviction. Above all, he can tell a tale' Sunday Times
