The Secret Pilgrim
By John Le CarreAn aging British secret service agent looks back on his covert past, recalling the suspicion, danger, excitement, deception, and failure that marked his thirty-year career as a spy
Nothing is as it was. Old enemies embrace. The dark staging grounds of the Cold War--whose shadows barely obscure the endless games of espionage--are flooded with light. The rules are rewritten, the stakes changed and the future unfathomable.
Ned has worked for the British Intelligence all of his life--a loyal, shrewd officer of the Cold War. Now approaching the end of his career, he revisits his own past. He invites us on a tour of three decades in the Circus, burrowing deep in the world of spies from every corner of the globe.
"Le Carre is simply the world's greatest fictional spymaster!" (Newsweek)
