Pen-name of David Cornwell, one of the most successful English spy novelists whose most famous creation George Smiley, and his ventures through the world of British espionage, embodied the murky political realities of the Cold War. His first two books were murder mysteries – Call for the Dead (1960) and A Murder of Quality (1962). It was his third novel The Spy who Came in from the Cold (1963) which really launched his career.
