[A BBC Radio 4 Full Cast Dramatization starring Simon Russell Beale]The award-winning Simon Russell Beale stars as George Smiley in this BBC Radio 4 dramatization of John le Carres second Smiley novel. The distinguished cast includes Geoffrey Palmer and Marcia Warren. This tense, compelling dramatization perfectly captures the atmosphere of le Carres gripping, sophisticated thriller.George Smiley is one of the most brilliantly realized characters in British fiction. Bespectacled, tubby, eternally middle-aged, and deceptively ordinary, he has a mind like a steel trap and is said to possess ''the cunning of Satan and the conscience of a virgin.''This dramatization, set in the early 1960s, sees him investigating a murder in a public school. When the wife of one of the masters is found bludgeoned to death, Smiley, out of loyalty to an old friend, agrees to look into the case. But his investigation raises a multitude of questions. Who could have hated Stella Rode enough to kill her? Why was her dog put down shortly before the murder? And what did Mad Janie see on that fatal night? To discover the truth, Smiley must lift the lid on a world of hidden passions and dangerous hatreds.

The Night Manager

In his first new novel since The Secret Pilgrim, le Carre brilliantly creates a new era of intrigue where the rules forged in the Cold War are put to even more terrifying use. It is the world of illegal arms dealers and drug smugglers, whose unfathomable ruthlessness is matched only by their limitless hunger for unlimited wealth.

"A remarkable book by the master. Reading it is a great experience". (Henning Mankell, "Daily Telegraph"). An English couple, Perry and Gail, are taking an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain's Intelligence Establishment. "Chilling and astute...In "Our Kind of Traitor", there is not a hair out of place...le Carre has done it again for our nasty new age". ("The Times"). "A compelling tale of deceit, dialogue and the author's own despair...This is a story with frenzy at its heart". (James Naughtie, "Telegraph"). "John le Carre's bullet train of a new thriller is part vintage John le Carre and part Alfred Hitchcock...The author's most thrilling thriller in years". ("The New York Times").
