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 man's death, he begins his own investigation, meeting with Fennan's widow to find out what could have led him to such desperation. ...

George Smiley is one of the most brilliantly realised characters in British fiction. Bespectacled, tubby, eternally middle-aged & deceptively ordinary, he has a mind like a steel trap & is said to possess 'the cunning of Satan & the conscience of a virgin'. This dramatisation, set in London in the late 1950s, finds Smiley engaged in the humdrum job of security vetting. But when a Foreign Office civil servant commits suicide after an apparently unproblematic interview, Smiley is baffled. Refusing to believe that Fennan shot himself soon after making a cup of cocoa & asking the exchange to telephone him in the morning, Smiley decides to investigate
- only to uncover a murderous conspiracy with its roots in his own secret wartime past. Starring the award-winning Simon Russell Beale as Smiley, & with a distinguished cast including Kenneth Cranham, Eleanor Bron & Anna Chancellor, this tense thrilling dramatisation perfectly captures the atmosphere of le Carre's masterful debut novel. 2 CDs, running time: 1 hour 30 mins
