Set during the height of the Cold War, this story follows Alec Leamas, a British Intelligence officer who believes his years of service are nearing an end. Disillusioned and ready to “come in from the cold,” he is instead presented with an incredibly dangerous assignment, one that blurs the boundaries of what duty means. Sent undercover into East Germany, Leamas must manipulate a web of double agents and ever-changing allegiances, even as his growing relationship with Liz Gold, a librarian, threatens to undermine the entire mission.

Le Carré’s novel has remained a global bestseller for over six decades and was also named one of TIME Magazine’s All-Time 100 Novels. Its enduring legacy lies at its core: a spy thriller that breaks down the supposed heroism of espionage and reveals that underneath it all lie secrets, sacrifice, and most of all, betrayal.
