Review - Call for the Dead
Le Carre's first novel, and a pretty good one. I liked the characters, and he's a good writer. The plot was ordinary, but kept me reading.

He's convinced the man was innocent and tells him so, but then is surprised when the man commits suicide that night. While investigating, Smiley is attacked and almost killed. With the help of two friends in the secret service, he tracks the killer back to the official's wife and an agent who fought for the British in the war. |
