SynopsisFrom the New York Times bestselling author of A Legacy of Spies. John le Carr 's new novel, Agent Running in the Field , is coming October 2019. "Go back to Whitehall and look for more spies on your drawing boards." George Smiley is no one's idea of a spy--which is perhaps why he's such a natural. But Smiley apparently made a mistake. After a routine security interview, he concluded that the affable Samuel Fennan had nothing to hide. Why, then, did the man from the Foreign Office shoot himself in the head only hours later? Or did he? The heart-stopping tale of intrigue that launched both novelist and spy, Call for the Dead is an essential introduction to le Carr 's chillingly amoral universe., The first of his peerless novels of Cold War espionage and international intrigue, Call for the Dead is also the debut of John le Carré's masterful creation George Smiley.
