A Legacy of Spies   John Lecarré
Beautifully written filling out and re-examination of the spy story told previously in his The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, this time from the point-of-view of Peter Guillam. The prose pulls us effortlessly through the narrative. Perfectly executed, and, if possible, even sadder than the original. Cornwell explores all his old themes again, especially the toll taken on those who worked in espionage during the cold war. Loved it. Very, very good.
