D’Artagnan Books


This is a first edition in average condition.  It was published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1977.

 

'In the wake of a demoralising infiltration by a Soviet double agent, Smiley has been made ringmaster of the Circus (aka the British Secret Service).  Determined to restore the organisation's health and reputation, and bent on revenge, Smiley thrusts his own handpicked operative into action.  Jerry Westerby, 'The Honourable Schoolboy', is dispatched to the Far East.  A burial ground of French, British, and American colonial cultures, the region is a fabled testing ground of patriotic allegiances, and a new showdown is about to begin.'
