I have long been a John Le Carré fan and have read all his books. This is probably his best.

John le Carre is the absolute master of the Cold War spy thriller genre. This book is one of his latest, with memorable characters involved in a plot beginning in West Berlin in the 1960's continuing right up to the present day of terrorism.
