The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinized by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications. Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carré has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. In a story resonating with tension, humor and moral ambivalence, le Carré and his narrator Peter Guillam present the reader with a legacy of unforgettable characters old and new. 約翰·勒卡雷 John le Carré 18歲被英國軍方情報單位招募，擔任對東柏林的間諜工作；1958年就職於英國安全局軍情五處，同時開始寫作。1963年，第三本小說《柏林諜影》問世，知名小說家格雷厄姆·格林盛讚：“這是我讀過的最好的間諜小說！”由此奠定文壇大師地位，並轉為全職寫作。在過去的50年中，勒卡雷居留於倫敦與康沃爾郡，筆耕不輟，迄今共著小說25部，被《泰晤士報》評為“1945年以來50位最偉大的英國作家”之一。
