When Smiley finds Circus head Maston is trying to blame him for the man's death, he begins his own investigation, meeting with Fennan's widow to find out what could have led him to such desperation. But on the very day that Smiley is ordered off the enquiry he receives an urgent letter from the dead man. Do the East Germans - and their agents - know more about this man's death than the Circus previously imagined?                   Le Carré's debut novel,'Call for the Dead', introduced the tenacious and retiring George Smiley in a gripping tale of espionage and deceit. This title also marks the American appearance of John Le Carre,an extremelly talented mystery writer.This suspense novel was runner-up for first prize in the British Crime writers Association awards for 1961.              Please contact seller,because of the lighter weight of this item,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!   N.B.
