An omnibus edition of 5 complete novels by John Le Carre?. The Spy Who Came in From the Cold: a thriller about an intelligence agent who has decided to put his life of espionage behind him, but first there is one more dangerous assignment to accomplish. Call for the Dead: George Smiley is no one's idea of a spy--which is why he's such a natural. But Smiley apparently made a mistake when he concluded that the affable Mr. Fennan had nothing to hide. Why, then, did the man from the Foreign Office shoot himself in the head only hours later? Or did he? A Murder of Quality: John le Carr's second novel, A Murder of Quality , offers an exquisite, satirical look at an elite private school as it chronicles the early development of George Smiley. Miss Ailsa Brimley is in a quandary. She's received a peculiar letter from Mrs. Stella Rode, saying that she fears her husbandan assistant master at Carne Schoolis trying to kill her. Reluctant to go to the police, Miss Brimley calls upon her old wartime colleague, George Smiley. Unfortunately, it's too late. Mrs. Rode has just been murdered. As Smiley takes up the investigation, he realizes that in lifeas in espionagenothing is quite what it appears. The Looking Glass War: "You are either good or bad, and both are dangerous." It would have been an easy job for the Circus: a can of film couriered from Helsinki to London. In the past the Circus handled all things political, while the Department dealt with matters military. But the Department has been moribund since the War, its resources siphoned away. Now, one of their agents is dead, and vital evidence verifying the presence of Soviet missiles near the West German border is gone. John Avery is the Department's younger member and its last hope. Charged with handling Fred Leiser, a German-speaking Pole left over from the War, Avery must infiltrate the East and restore his masters' former glory. John le Carre's The Looking Glass War is a scorching portrayal of misplaced loyalties and innocence lost. With an introduction by the author. A Small Town in Germany: Leo Harting, a relarively obscure member of the British Embassy in Bonn, has vanished, and with him have gone secret files his superiors would do anything in the world to stop being made public. [Alan Turner, and investigator from London, is sent to find Harting]… (plus d'informations)

Reading George Smiley novels (I have not read "A Small Town in Germany"):
**** "Call of the Dead" (read from April 13 to 16, 2013)
**** " A Murder of Quality" (read from April 16 to 19, 2013) - The ending was a little bit 'loose'.
*** "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" (read from April 20 to 22, 2013)
** " The Looking Glass War" (read from April 22 to 28, 2013) ( )
