"THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD BY JOHN LE CARRE, READ BY CHRIS WINFIELD." "Crafted with great power and psychological verisimilitude, this novel tells the story of a 50-year-old British spy who has been too long in the field. Stale, tired and bitter, he accepts one last assignment. The story is elegantly written---completely convincing in its setting and characters." [from case]
