John le Carré or David John Moore Cornwell (born 19 October 1931), was a British author of espionage novels. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963), became an international best-seller and remains one of his best-known works. Following the success of this novel, he left MI6 to become a full-time author.
We are actively seeking any signed rare first edition books by Le Carre, especially ‘Call for the Dead’ and ‘A Murder of Quality’ published by Gollancz.
