Secret Pilgrim by John le Carré
Nothing is as it was. Old enemies embrace. The dark staging grounds of the Cold War -- whose shadows barely obscure the endless games of espionage -- are flooded with light. The rules are rewritten, the stakes changed and the future unfathomable.

Ned has worked for the British Intelligence all of his life -- a loyal, shrewd officer of the Cold War. Now approaching the end of his career, he revisits his own past. He invites us on a tour of three decades in the Circus, burrowing deep in the world of spies from every corner of the globe.

"Le Carre is simply the world's greatest fictional spymaster!" (Newsweek)
