    George Smiley is no one's idea of a spy - which is perhaps why he's such a natural. But Smiley apparently made a mistake. After a routine security interview, he concluded that the affable Samuel Fennan had nothing to hide. Why, then, did the man from the Foreign Office shoot himself in the head only hours later? Or did he? The heart-stopping tale of intrigue that launched both novelist and spy, Call for the Dead is an essential introduction to le Carre's chillingly amoral universe.

    Darwin8u says: "Subtle story of friendship, espionage, guilt, etc"
    "Smiley is the best spy every created."

    Would you listen to Call for the Dead again? Why?

    Absolutely. I loved the story and do intend to read it again.


    What does Michael Jayston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I am an avid reader, but this narrator had me as much in the story as if I was reading a physical book. Very well done. Bravo
