A gripping new novel set in the universe of John le Carré's most iconic spy, George Smiley, written by acclaimed novelist Nick Harkaway.

Situated in the lost decade between the two iconic sequels of George Smiley's story, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" and "The Servant of Two Masters," "Karla's Choice" is an exceptional, thrilling return to the world of the greatest spy literature author, John le Carré.

It is spring 1963, and George Smiley has left the Circus. With the remnants of the Cold War between the West and the Soviets scattered across Europe, he has his eyes set on a more peaceful life. And indeed, with his marriage safer than ever, there is a rumor in Whitehall – unacknowledged and slightly scandalous – that George Smiley may be almost happy.

But Control has other plans. A Russian agent has defected under the most unusual circumstances, and the man who was sent to kill in London is nowhere to be found. Smiley hesitates to agree to one last simple mission: to interrogate Susanna, a Hungarian immigrant and clerk of the missing, and to investigate a case. But in his absence, the shadows of Moscow have grown larger. Smiley will soon find himself ensnared in a dangerous mystery that will shape future battles and strike at the heart of his greatest enemy...
