Publisher's Summary
Alec Leamas has ended his time in Berlin. Or his time has ended him. The last of his Eastern agents has been killed, like the others, by the Abteilung. Back at the Circus, Leamas is put on the shelf. He turns to drunkenness and dishonesty and finally disappears from view, a seemingly broken man.
But unknown to anyone except George Smiley and his master, Control, Leamas has been given his toughest mission ever. He will have to be himself but more so. He will have to fight off the inevitable softening of middle age and wait a little more before he can come in from the cold. Not even Leamas can know the plan of which he is the instrument.

Third reading and listening ....still most brilliant.
Le Carre is the most memorable author of the Cold War period and also beyond and those who argue the spy genre can never be literature are so wrong. I used to read Maugham for the pleasure of reading the finest English. I read Le Carre for the same reason immeasurably enhanced by the excitement of outstanding plot and finely observed characterisation.
Michael Jayston reads with an authority and dramatisation that adds significant further quality to this overall piece of finely crafted literature.

An exciting classic, beautifully bought to life.
The unbeatable combination of Le Carre’s fantastic storytelling and knowledge, and Jayston’s fabulous voice and skilled reading.
Loved it.

Great combination
Terrific narrator. Would listen to an audible on the basis of Mr Jayston alone. Perfect fit for Le Carré

A Perfect Spy
Impeccable. Magnificent writing by Me Carte and perfect narration by Michael Jayston. A dude into the world of spies and espionage and a walk aplomb front lines of Cold ar ideology and philosophy.
