Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carré

Set in the atmosphere of the Cold War, this novel, which has been reprinted and turned into a film, deals with the conflict between British intelligence and Russian intelligence in Europe. With a masterful plot from a great master of this type of novel, John le Carré provides a depiction of that period, which he personally experienced before becoming one of the most prominent authors of thrillers that keep the reader fully engaged.
