Publisher's Summary

George Smiley has become chief of the battered British Secret Service. The betrayals of a Soviet double agent have riddled the spy network, and Smiley wants revenge. He chooses his weapon: Jerry Westerby, The Honourable Schoolboy, a passionate lover, and a seasoned, reckless secret agent. Westerby is pointed east, to Hong Kong. So begins the terrifying game.

Critic Reviews

"All the good things are there: the Balkan complexities of plot; the Dickensian profusion of idiosyncratic characters; and above all, le Carré's glistening social observation." ( Time magazine)

Must read for fans of spy tales

Personally, I liked it even more than it’s more famous & highly rated Part 1 of the Smiley saga - Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Good but slow paced

Audiobook format restricted pace at places where one would read fast/ skip through. Takes getting used to.
