Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is all sleek, stealthy elegance. High-ranking intelligence officer George Smiley was forced out of service when a mission in Hungary went very wrong, but rumors of a Soviet mole hidden within the agency bring him back into play. If the theory of the former head, Control, is to be believed, the mole is at the very top, one of four senior officers. With the help of a lower-ranking agent with a few secrets of his own and a field agent who may be a source of disinformation, Smiley slowly draws out the clues he needs to lay a trap for the mole.

The body of a slain woman is found in a Copenhagen park commemorating Danish Resistance in WWII. A symbolic act? An ex-soldier disabled while serving in Afghanistan is savagely killed. A deadly warning? Sarah Lund is back, and her combinative powers are as sharp as ever. She soon discerns a common thread in the cases: all the victims are ex-soldiers, and all were stationed in Afghanistan. They are the protagonists of a twisting tale of top-level cover-ups, betrayals and lies set in a time of fear: that of Islamic terrorism, which clouds Sarah Lund's investigation. The victims are all linked through the war in Afghanistan - but is this really the deepest layer of these killings, which represent a major threat to the entire Danish government?
