| Call for the Dead marks the fictional debut of George Smiley, the most famous of John le Carré's recurring characters, who also features in one of the best-known novels of the espionage genre, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.When Foreign Office civil servant Samuel Fennan commits suicide after a routine security check by "the Circus" (so called because of its location in Cambridge Circus, and apparently based on MI6), Smiley is sent to investigate. Smiley had interviewed and cleared Fennan only days previously after an anonymous accusation of Fennan's membership of the Communist Party while at Oxford University; however, head of service Maston believes that Smiley must be to blame for the suicide. |
