Service95 Recommends The Spy Who Came In From The Cold by John le Carré

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

John le Carré

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
