Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold by John le Carré is a masterclass in the spy genre, introducing the reader to the world of Cold War espionage.
What We Say: “In le Carré’s world of espionage, war is fought from a close range. In his classic Cold War spy novel, Alec Leamas is a dry, disenfranchised agent called back home for one final mission. The tension will keep you on edge as le Carré leads his reader into a world of plotting and double-crossing” – Jamie Styles
What They Say: “I have re-read The Spy Who Came In From The Cold over and over again since I first encountered it in my teens, just to remind myself how extraordinary a work of fiction can be” — Malcolm Gladwell
