'A topical and terrible story ... he can communicate emotion, from
sweating fear to despairing love, with terse and compassionate
conviction. Above all, he can tell a tale. Formidable equipment for
a rare and disturbing writer.' -- The Sunday Times
'Written ... with a pitiless, elegant clarity. The Spy who Came in
from the Cold is a first-rate thriller and more.' -- TIME
'Le Carre is one of the best novelists - of any kind - we have.' --
