George Smiley is THE great fictional spy, the one who does the hard, dirty, boring work of intelligence. This book, le Carré's first novel, recounts his start as a character. Michael Jayston keeps to Smiley's cool, rational, tone, giving just a hint of Sir Alec Guinness in his voice. Smiley here is actually acting as a detective, trying to solve a murder using his own background in espionage. And as always in le Carré's novels, the solution lies in observing and understanding the hearts of human beings as much as the facts of the case. A fine performance of an underappreciated novel.
