The Honourable Schoolboy

In the wake of a demoralising infiltration by a Soviet double agent, Smiley has been made ringmaster of the Circus (aka the British Secret Service).

Determined to restore the organisation’s health and reputation, and bent on revenge, Smiley thrusts his own handpicked operative into action. Jerry Westerby, “The Honourable Schoolboy,” is dispatched to the Far East. A burial ground of French, British, and American colonial cultures, the region is a fabled testing ground of patriotic allegiances and a new showdown is about to begin.
