The Honourable Schoolboy

The Honourable Schoolboy

From theÂ New York TimesÂ bestsellingÂ author ofÂ Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy;Â Our Kind of Traitor; andÂ The Night Manager, now a television series starring Tom Hiddleston.Â John le CarrÃ©â€™s new novel, A Legacy of Spies,Â is now available.

As the fall of Saigon looms, master spy George Smiley must outmaneuver his Soviet counterpart on a battlefield that neither can afford to lose.
Â
The mole has been eliminated, but the damage wrought has brought the British Secret Service to its knees. Given the 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 allegiancesâ€”and livesâ€”are bought and sold.

Brilliantly plotted and morally complex, The Honourable Schoolboy is the second installment of JohnÂ le CarrÃ©'s renowned Karla triology and a riveting portrayal of postcolonial espionage.
