John le Carré's classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international esionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have earned him – and his hero, British secret Service Agent George Smiley – unprecedented worldwide acclaim. George Smiley was simply doing a favor for Miss Ailsa Brimley, and old friend and editor of a small newspaper. Miss Brimley had received a letter from a worried reader: „I'm not mad. And I know my husbad is trying to kill me.” But the letter had arrived too late: it's scribe, the wife of an assistant master at the distinguished Carne School, was already dead.

So George Smiley went to Carne to listen, ask questions, and think. And to uncover, layer by layer, the complex network of skeletons and hatreds that comprised that little English institution.

John le Carré: A Murder of Quality

Az előző részben áztatott minket az eső, most csend van és hó és halál. Még jobban is bejött ez a „kong a toronyóra és gyilkosság történik az internátusban” hangulat, mint az első kötet követős-képeslapozós-leütős izgalmai.

John le Carré: A Murder of Quality

Oké volt, de az első kötet sokkal jobb. Ez egy sima krimi, plusz olyan egészen sötétben hagyós.

Az elso kony jobban tetszett, de ez is remek volt. Kifejezetten tetszk a konyvek vegen az osszegzes. Remek kem-krimi.

As he passed the west door of the Abbey, the soft snow creaking where he trod, the clock high above him struck the half-hour, and two knights on horseback rode out from their little castle over the door, and slowly raised their lances to each other in salute. Then, as if it were all part of the same clockwork mechanism, other doors all around the Close opened too, releasing swarms of black-coated boys who stampeded across the snow towards the Abbey.

I've got all the facts I want, but I've got no clothes to hang on them.

Chapter 3: The Night of the Murder

It was a beautiful night. As they crossed the Close, Smiley looked up at the tower. It seemed smaller and more peaceful in the moonlight. The whiteness of the new snow lit the very sky itself; the whole Abbey was so sharply visible against it that even the mutilated images of saints were clear in every sad detail of their defacement, wretched figures, their purpose lost, with no eyes to see the changing world.

Chapter 6: Holly for the Devil

I know of a dozen people who would pay you five thousand a year for telling them every day that what is important is seldom urgent.

Chapter 14: The Quality of Mercy

It was refugee relief she was keen on here. That didn't get going much until late 1956 – the Hungarians began it, and then this last year…
