20세기 냉전을 다룬 스파이소설이자 영국사회를 적나라하게 고발하는 존 르카레의 대표작. <팅커, 테일러, 솔저, 스파이>가 보다 원숙해진 중기의 대표작이라면, 르카레가 세 번째로 발표한 이 작품은 그를 본격적인 작가의 길로 들어서게 해준 초기 걸작이자 최고의 히트작이다.1960년대 냉전 상황이 극에 달한 시기, 각국 스파이들의 주요 활동 무대였던 베를린을 배경으로 비정한 국제 첩보전의 세계를 그리고 있는 이 소설은, 1964년 영미 최고의 베스트셀러에 오르는 기염을 토했고 또한 뛰어난 문학성으로 평단의 찬사를 받으며 서머싯 몸상, 에드거상 등을 휩쓸었다.냉전 상황이 극에 달한 1960년대 영국과 독일간 스파이들의 활동과 그와 관련된 이야기를 탄탄한 구성으로 엮었다. 1965년 마틴 리트가 감독하고 리처드 버턴이 주연을 맡은 영화로 제작되어 화제가 된 바 있다. 작가 특유의 긴장감 넘치는 스토리 전개가 여실히 드러나는 작품이다.
