My first John Le Carre book, I picked this off the shelf after seeing the new adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
British spy, Alec Leamus, is recalled from Berlin after a cock-up resulting in the death of a double agent. Although officially in disgrace, Control has bigger plans for Leamus. He is to provide intelligence for the other side, in the hopes of hooking a bigger fish.
Written in the '60s, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is very much a novel of its time, it is easy to downplay the Cold War years and what life was like under the threat of war. The Cold War atmosphere in the book is well-created, the narrative is tense and there are many twists and turns. Le Carre shows us a grittier side to spying, a game in which anything goes, of bluff and double bluff, in a world that could blow up at anytime.
The Spy is a good read, and I will be looking out for more of Le Carre's work.
