Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: BBC Radio Full-Cast Radio Dramatization (George Smiley)

George Smiley is one of the most brilliantly realized characters in British fiction. Bespectacled, tubby, eternally middle-aged and deceptively ordinary, he has a mind like a steel trap and is said to possess ?the cunning of Satan and the conscience of a virgin.” Smiley has come out of retirement. Moscow has infiltrated a mole into the Circus and it’s more than likely the perpetrator is Karla, his old adversary. And when Smiley is offered the job of catching the mole, it becomes a long and bitter battle of deception and treachery.

John le Carré was a member of the British Foreign Service from 1959 to 1964. He started writing novels in 1961, and since then has published twenty-one titles.
