When the trail goes cold at a Hong Kong gold seam, Smiley dispatches Gerald Westerby to shake the money tree. A part-time operative with cover as a philandering journalist, Westerby insinuates himself into a war-torn world where allegiances—and lives—are bought and sold.  //  Brilliantly plotted and morally complex, The Honourable Schoolboy is the second installment of John le Carre’s renowned Karla trilogy and a riveting portrayal of postcolonial espionage.”
