George Smiley, the cleverest and most self effacing man in Security, investigates a murder in one of England's leading public schools - a murder that was forecast by the victim.
This is an early Le Carre which has Smiley 'helping out' in a murder investigation rather than a spy story. It is a whodunnit and it is excellent.
Smiley is one of the great fictional characters and he is surrounded by other solid characters in this story. Read it , there will be no disappointment.
