Call For the Dead by John LeCarré ★★★★☆


A shorned and bleached Britney Murphy as Elsa Fannan with the quote What dream did they leave me? I dreamed of long golden hair and they shaved my head, I dreamed of a beautiful body and they broke it with hunger.

Bradley Walsh as Inspector Mendel with the quote Why forget theft, murder, and rape just because millions committed it?

Gary Oldman as George Smiley with the quote They dreamed of peace and freedom.  Now they're murders and spies.

B1: Book Published Between 1950 - 1999 ✔
And thus I am on the board!  

I enjoyed this low key spy drama.  I recently saw Red Joan and this fit rather well.  The story was short but I felt for the characters.  LeCarré made you see their point of view, nothing was black and white.

"Oh God, who was then the gentleman...?'
