In the spring of 1963, George Smiley left the Circus. With the wreckage of the Western espionage war with the Soviets scattered across Europe, he could only aspire to a more peaceful life. Indeed, with his marriage more stable than ever, a rumor—unconfirmed and somewhat controversial—circulated around Whitehall that George Smiley might be almost happy.

But Control has other plans. A Russian agent has defected under strange circumstances, and the man he was sent to kill in London has disappeared. Smiley reluctantly agrees to one last simple mission: to interview Susanna, the missing man's Hungarian immigrant and employee, and search for a lead. But in his absence, the shadows over Moscow have grown darker. Smiley will soon find himself embroiled in a dangerous mystery that will shape the battles to come and strike at the heart of his mortal enemy... Nick Harkaway's Carla's Choice is set in the missing decade between two iconic installments of George Smiley's epic, *The Spy Who Ran Out in the Cold* and *The Soldier, Spy, Master Tailor*. Nick Harkaway's *Carla's Choice* is an extraordinary and thrilling return to the world of the greatest writer of spy fiction, John le Carré.
