As the fall of Saigon looms, master spy George Smiley must outmaneuver his Soviet counterpart on a battlefield that neither can afford to lose.
The mole has been eliminated, but the damage wrought has brought the British Secret Service to its knees. Given charge of the gravely compromised Circus, George Smiley embarks on a campaign to uncover what Moscow Centre most wants to hide. When the trail goes cold at a Hong Kong gold seam, Smiley dispatches Gerald Westerby to shake the money tree. A part-time operative with cover as a philandering journalist, Westerby insinuates himself into a war-torn world where allegiances-and lives-are bought and sold.
Brilliantly plotted and morally complex, The Honourable Schoolboy , is the second installment of John le Carré's renowned Karla trilogy, and a riveting portrayal of post-colonial espionage.
"All the good things are there: the Balkan complexities of plot; the Dickensian profusion of idiosyncratic characters; and above all, le Carré's glistening social observation."
-Time
"Energy, compassion, rich and overwhelming sweep of character and action . . . one of the finest English novels of the seventies."
-The Times (London)
