When the Department - faded since the war and busy only with bureaucratic battles - hears rumours of a missile base near the West German border, it seems the perfect opportunity to regain some standing in the Intelligence world. Desperate for glory and determined to outdo their rivals at the Circus, including George Smiley, they send deactivated agent Fred Leiser back into East Germany, armed only with some schoolboy training and his memories of the war. In the land of eloquent silence that is Communist East Germany, Leiser's fate is no longer his own.

Consider this fact: When John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, senior KGB officials did not celebrate. They didn’t bring out the vodka, the caviar, or the cigars. They didn’t plot how to exploit the chaos. They panicked. Files were destroyed. Documents burned. Cables flew between Moscow and foreign embassies—not out of triumph, but fear. Fear of escalation. Fear of nuclear war. Because even if they were not involved, one incontrovertible truth remained: Soviet intelligence did have contingency plans for Kennedy’s assassination.
