The Legacy of Spies

A new old case!

A true classic of the spy detective thriller!

Peter Gillem—George Smiley’s closest assistant, comrade in arms, and longtime partner—has been living quietly as an unremarkable civilian for many decades. But suddenly, people from his former place of service arrive to determine how much he was involved in the mysterious operation of the 1960s, codenamed “The Dropout,” as a result of which one of the best agents, Alek Limas, and his friend Elizabeth Gold died—whom he was protecting and for whom he sacrificed himself.

Almost no documents or mentions of this operation remain. And it had a direct connection to the Stasi, the ministry of state security of East Germany. Gillem is probably one of the last witnesses who could help dig out the truth. But a secret agent—yes, even a former one—stays secret precisely to be able to keep secrets. This audiobook offers a fresh look at the events of one of Le Carré’s most famous and popular novels, “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.”
