After a routine security check by George Smiley, civil servant Samuel Fennan apparently kills himself. When Smiley finds Circus head Maston is trying to blame him for the death, he begins his own investigation, meeting Fennan's widow to find out what led him to such desperation. On the very day Smiley is ordered off the enquiry he receives an urgent letter from the dead man. Do the East Germans - and their agents - know more about this man's death than the Circus previously imagined? Le Carré's first book, Call for the Dead, introduced the tenacious and retiring spy George Smiley in a gripping tale of espionage and deceit. 'Intelligent, thrilling, surprising . . . makes most cloak-and-dagger stuff taste of cardboard.' Sunday Telegraph 'Brilliant. Realistic. Constant suspense.' Observer The first George Smiley novel

John le Carré's classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have earned him -- and his hero, British secret Service Agent George Smiley -- unprecedented worldwide acclaim. George Smiley was simply doing a favor for Miss Ailsa Brimley, and old friend and editor of a small newspaper. Miss Brimley had received a letter from a worried reader: "I'm not mad. And I know my husbad is trying to kill me." But the letter had arrived too late: its scribe, the wife of an assistant master at the distinguished Carne School, was already dead. So George Smiley went to Carne to listen, ask questions, and think. And to uncover, layer by layer, the complex network of skeletons and hatreds that comprised that little English institution.

Po románu Jeden musí z kola ven je Ctihodný školáček druhým počinem autorovy volné trilogie spojené tajemným sovětským superšpionem „Karlou“... Je rok 1974 a George Smiley se snaží postavit britskou tajnou službu přezdívanou Cirkus znovu na nohy, poté co její pověst a síť kontaktů zničil dvojitý agent Bill Haydon. Úzký tým jeho spolupracovníků přijde na to, že v Hongkongu operuje vážený obchodník Drake Kao ve prospěch Karly a tím britské kolonii škodí; ale agenti objeví i to, že Drake má v rudé Číně bratra Nelsona, vysoce postaveného státního úředníka, a že se bratři mají v Hongkongu tajně setkat. O únos a vytěžení Nelsona usiluje i CIA, sice spolupracovník Britů, ale jen občasný a málo spolehlivý. Aby operace únosu proběhla úspěšně, Smiley najme spícího agenta Jerryho Westerbyho, jemuž se sice přezdívá „ctihodný školáček“, protože jako šlechtic vychodil ty nejlepší školy, ale jeho otec zbankrotoval. Jerry se tedy živí jako člověk na špinavou práci v nebezpečných situacích.
