{"product_id":"call-for-the-dead","title":"Call for the Dead","description":"With the incomparable opening chapter of Call for the Dead, titled \"A Brief History of George Smiley,\" John Le Carré introduces his legendary spy and immediately ensnares you in the shadowy world Smiley inhabits.\nPulled back from overseas duty during World War II, Smiley was redirected to face the threats of the Cold War. He had been asked to interview Samuel Fennan of the Foreign Office after an anonymous letter accused Fennan of Communist Party membership. Smiley's report cleared him of the allegations, so he was stunned to learn that Fennan had died the day after the interview, leaving a suicide note that claimed his career had been ruined. Investigating circumstances that make no sense to him, Smiley gradually uncovers a spy ring and in so doing is led into a lethal duel of wits with the best of his war-time pupils.\nCall for the Dead marks the beginning of John Le Carré's brilliant literary career, just as it launches the life of one of the most memorable fictional characters of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0802714439\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0802714439.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:le Carré, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
