He is also compassionate, ruthless and a senior British intelligence officer in short-lived retirement from the Circus - the British Secret Service organisation situated in London. But Moscow Centre has infiltrated a mole into the Circus and it's more than likely that the perpetrator is Karla - Smiley's old adversary and his opposite number in Moscow. And when, at the dead of night, a member of the Cabinet offers Smiley the job to 'clean the stables, do whatever is necessary', it becomes a long and bitter battle of wits between Smiley, the master of deceit, and the enigmatic Karla...
