Came to this after reading a lot of his later works. Not sure how well this has aged, but a classic for its time.
Absolutely the best.
An amazing espionage spy book! A must read!
Leamas, a British agent who wishes to retire from the business is offered one last job. His mission is to take out Mundt, the master mind behind East German Intelligence. He gets involved with a woman Liz along the way and gets entangled in more than he expected.
This book had me wanting more! I didn't want the story to end. I've set my sights on more by Le Carre. ...more

Starts out a little slow, but really picks up and turns out to be a fantastic book.
Wow! More twists than Chubby Checker's prom. A true classic from a master spy novelist. And delightfully just over 200 pages. ...more
