Sinopse

Who spies on the spies? In the icy England of the early 1970s, in the midst of the Cold War and the final moments of the collapse of the British Empire, George Smiley seems to be the right man for the job. Forced to retire from the Circus—an elite division of the British Secret Service—after the failure of a mission masterminded by his former boss, known as Control, Smiley is still trying to understand what went wrong. He is summoned by a prominent politician to hear the story of Ricki Tarr—a tough agent trained for missions in the Far East. Tarr reveals his encounter, in Hong Kong, with a Soviet agent disillusioned with the life of a spy and determined to defect. While trying to contact the British intelligence service, the woman disappears, but leaves a diary revealing a double agent infiltrated high up in the Circus. Smiley has no doubt the story is true and that this agent may have been responsible for the failure of several operations, including the one that removed him from the intelligence service, and also for the constant leaking of information to the Soviets. His mission now is to find and destroy him. This classic spy novel brings back the famous character George Smiley at his best. Intelligent and daring, he embarks on a complex plot to uncover the double agent's identity before he puts other people's lives at risk.
