| A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the classic George Smiley novel by John le Carre, starring Simon Russell Beale as George Smiley. First published in 1979, this is the seventh of the eight books featuring John le Carré's celebrated spymaster George Smiley. When a Russian émigré is found murdered on Hampstead Heath, Smiley is called out of retirement to exorcise some Cold War ghosts from his clandestine past. What follows is Smiley the human being at his most vulnerable and Smiley the case officer at his most brilliant; and it takes to a thrilling conclusion his career-long, serpentine battle with his great rival and nemesis, the enigmatic and ruthless Russian spymaster Karla. |
