內容簡介

暢銷逾60年，諜報小說不敗經典

時代雜誌百大英文小說

英國在東德佈下的情報網遭東德破獲，最後一名潛伏其中的間諜，也在東西柏林邊界被射殺身亡。情報任務負責人Leamas灰頭土臉返抵西柏林，卻發現他的任務還未結束。

情報局老總告知Leamas，表面上會將他視為棄子，強制退休—實則為了讓潛伏英國的東德間諜見縫插針，策反其倒戈，如此便能讓Leamas前往東柏林，並反過來指認東德情報頭目Munndt是西方國家派來的間諜。

Leamas順利「被策反」並前往東德，而Munndt的手下Fiedler同樣質疑長官的忠誠，兩人合作舉發Munndt是西方潛伏東德的間諜，Munndt與Fiedler在法庭上針鋒相對，互相質疑並指控對方是西方間諜，Leamas的女友卻突然現身，將英國情報局欲構陷Munndt的計畫全盤托出！

Fiedler立刻遭到關押，然而Munndt卻在此時，安排Leamas與其女友出逃…

本作屬勒卡雷的喬治史邁利系列，然而史邁利並未以主角身分出場。本書1963年甫推出即奪下英國犯罪作家協會金匕首獎，兩年後在美國出版，獲美國推理作家協會愛倫坡獎(最佳推理小說)，也是首部同時獲英美兩大犯罪推理寫作協會獎項的作品，隔年同名改編電影以最佳電影劇本再次拿下愛倫坡獎。2005年，更從金匕首獎五十年來，歷年得獎作品中榮獲《獎中之獎》殊榮。

The classic Cold War thriller, published as a Penguin Essential for the first time.

Alec Leamas is tired. It''s the 1960s, he''s been out in the cold for years, spying in Berlin for his British masters, and has seen too many good agents murdered for their troubles. Now Control wants to bring him in at last - but only after one final assignment.

He must travel deep into the heart of Communist Germany and betray his country, a job that he will do with his usual cynical professionalism. But when George Smiley tries to help a young woman Leamas has befriended, Leamas''s mission may prove to be the worst thing he could ever have done.

In le Carré''s breakthrough work of 1963, the spy story is reborn as a gritty and terrible tale of men who are caught up in politics beyond their imagining.
