First Folio Society Edition, 2009. Like new condition of both the book and slipcase. Illustrations by Tim Laing. A nice production of one of Le Carre's strongest works, the first of the Karla Trilogy and what is considered one of the most influential spy trilogy of the twentieth century.
 
Adapted twice to film, first with Alex Guiness as agent George Smiley in an adapted series in 1979, and recently remade into a blockbuster film with Gary Oldham as Smiley in 2011. This first volume of the trilogy covers how the Soviets have placed a mole that has burrowed its way into the highest echelons of British Intelligence. With operations and networks leaked, George Smiley is assigned the task to smoke the mole out.
