Peter Guillam, former disciple of George Smiley in the British Secret Service, has long retired to Brittany when a letter arrives, summoning him to London. The reason? Cold War ghosts have come back to haunt him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of the Service are to be dissected by a generation with no memory of the Berlin Wall. Somebody must pay for innocent blood spilt in the name of the greater good . . .

Gripping, fast-paced . . . A splendid novel
A brilliant novel of deception, love and trust to join his supreme espionage canon
Perhaps the most significant novelist of the second half of the 20th century in Britain. He will have charted our decline and recorded the nature of our bureaucracies like no one else has. He's in the first rank
It gives the reader, at long last, pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that have been missing for 54 years . . .A Legacy of Spiesdoes something remarkable . . . Like wine, le Carré's writing has got richer with age
le Carré's masterful new novel
The English canon has rarely seen an acclaimed novelist and popular entertainer sustain such a hot streak in old age . . .A Legacy of Spiesachieves many things. Outstandingly, it is a defiant assertion of creative vigour
A Legacy of Spiesdeploys a complex and ingeniously layered structure to make the past alive in the present once more . . . le Carré has not lost his touch
His writing is as crisp as ever . . . another tale of intrigue which will slip effortlessly into its place in the Smiley canon
What are we to make of Smiley? What is his game? Do we like him? Admire him? Every le Carré reader has wrestled with these questions-andA Legacy of Spiesbrings them to the fore more directly than any previous book
Ingenious
Utterly engrossing and perfectly pitched, it is a triumph
We are back in the more interesting territory of moral uncertainty and failure. What, Smiley asks, was he fighting for?
The literary event of the Autumn
I have re-readThe Spy Who Came In From The Coldover and over again since I first encountered it in my teens, just to remind myself how extraordinary a work of fiction can be
He can communicate emotion, from sweating fear to despairing love, with terse and compassionate conviction. Above all, he can tell a tale. Formidable equipment for a rare and disturbing writer
The best spy story I have ever read
A literary master for a generation
George Smiley is our favourite fictional spy
le Carré has made and peopled a myth. Myths do not age
Deeply movingin its portrait of a man adrift in a climate he no longer understands
[As] labyrinthine as you'd expect ...le Carré has always been a master
Razor-sharpinsight from the battle-weary Guillam and fascinating glimpsesinto the murky spycraft at the height of the Cold War only add to the joy of thissublimely accomplishedthriller
This is atruly wonderful, morally complex, politically astutenovel written with elegance and panache . . .the visceral thrill of its twists and its complexities, its edge-of-the-seat qualities
[Le Carré's] writing has lost none of its pith or potency . . . his powers of invention have kept up with the pace of an ever-changing and complex world'
Thrilling and fascinating- a satisfying close to the saga
This sublime thriller
This really is vintage le Carré
It's brilliantly done and very enjoyable
[A] late-career triumph
A splendid novel
Animmensely cleverpiece of novelistic engineering
