Staff-created list

Read-alike novels for fans of the late grandmaster of espionage novels. British author and former MI5 and MI6 officer David Cornwell, writing as John le Carré, was known for his action-packed stories, authentic spy craft details, and multi-dimensional characters. Many of his bestselling works have been made into feature films. He entertained countless readers over his nearly 60-year writing career, and inspired the storytelling talents of many writers. His literary voice will be missed.
