A Radio 4 Dramatisation of a classic George Smiley novel by John Le Carre. Set in the early 1960s, when the wife of one of the masters at a public school is found bludgeoned to death, Smiley, out of loyalty to an old friend, agrees to look into the case. But his investigation raises a multitude of questions. Who could have hated Stella Rode enough to kill her Why was her dog put down shortly before the murder And what did Mad Janie see on that fatal night To discover the truth, Smiley must lift the lid on a world of hidden passions and dangerous hatreds...Starring the award winning Simon Russell Beale as Smiley, and with a distinguished cast including Geoffrey Palmer and Marcia Warren, this tense, compelling dramatisation perfectly captures the atmosphere of le Carre's gripping, sophisticated thriller. Dramatised by Shaun McKenna.
