內容簡介 探索年度最受矚目的驚悚小說…「讀起來就像一部失落的勒卡雷作品。斯邁利在最可靠的雙手中回到了馬戲團。」——理查德·奧斯曼（Richard Osman）「《卡拉的選擇》是對勒卡雷的完美致敬，既新穎又令人耳目一新。」——米克·赫倫（Mick Herron）「勒卡雷的遺產得以妥善延續——斯邁利帶著復仇之勢歸來！」——伊恩·蘭金（Ian Rankin）DISCOVER THE MOST-TALKED ABOUT THRILLER OF THE YEAR . . .1963年的春天，喬治·斯邁利（George Smiley）已經離開了情報機構「馬戲團」（The Circus）。隨著西方與蘇聯的間諜戰殘局散落在歐洲各地，他的目光只專注於追求更加和平的生活。事實上，隨著婚姻比以往更加穩定，白廳中甚至傳出了一個未經證實但有些轟動的謠言——喬治·斯邁利可能快要「幸福」了。然而，控制者（Control）另有打算。一名俄羅斯特工以極不尋常的方式叛逃，而他在倫敦的暗殺目標卻下落不明。斯邁利不情願地同意執行一項看似簡單的任務：與匈牙利移民蘇珊娜（Susanna）——這名失蹤者的雇員——進行一次訪談，尋找線索。然而，在他缺席的這段時間裡，莫斯科的陰影變得更加深邃。斯邁利很快發現自己捲入了一場危險的謎團，這場謎團不僅將定義未來的戰鬥，還直指他最強大的敵人——卡拉（Karla）的核心。《卡拉的選擇》設定於約翰·勒卡雷（John le Carré）兩部經典小說——《冷戰諜魂》（The Spy Who Came in from the Cold）與《鍋匠，裁縫，士兵，間諜》（Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy）——之間的十年空白期。本書由勒卡雷的兒子、備受讚譽的小說家尼克·哈克威（Nick Harkaway）撰寫，帶領讀者重返約翰·勒卡雷的間諜世界，是一部非凡的驚悚之作。評論「本身就是一部出色的間諜小說。」——威廉·博伊德（William Boyd）「哈克威以卓越的手筆延續了他父親的遺產。」——《每日电讯报》（The Telegraph）「一部傑出的致敬之作，亦是一部引人入勝的驚悚小說。」——《經濟學人》（The Economist）‘Reads like a lost le Carrè.

And indeed, with his marriage more secure than ever, there is a rumour in Whitehall – unconfirmed and a little scandalous – that George Smiley might almost be happy.But Control has other plans. A Russian agent has defected in the most unusual of circumstances, and the man he was sent to kill in London is nowhere to be found. Smiley reluctantly agrees to one last simple task: interview Susanna, a Hungarian émigré and employee of the missing man, and sniff out a lead.But in his absence the shadows of Moscow have lengthened. Smiley will soon find himself entangled in a perilous mystery that will define the battles to come, and strike at the heart of his greatest enemy…--- --- ---Set in the missing decade between two iconic novels starring George Smiley, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, this is an extraordinary, thrilling return to the world of spymaster John le Carré, written by the author’s son and acclaimed novelist, Nick Harkaway.‘An exceptional espionage novel in its own right’ WILLIAM BOYD‘Harkaway has done an extraordinarily good job with his father’s legacy’ TELEGRAPH‘An accomplished homage and a captivating thriller’ THE ECONOMIST

It’s a book as rich and complex as its cast of characters. But it’s also a feat of extraordinary literary alchemy. Harkaway has summoned Smiley, his colleagues, antagonists, and the dark moral machinations of their secret Cold War institutions back into existence with all the deft emotional precision of the best of Le Carré, but in so doing he has given us something wondrously new: a giddying, compulsively fierce novel that is very much his own.

I couldn’t put it down. -- S J BennettThe legendary Smiley’s return is a classic thinking person’s espionage thriller packed with more secrets, tricks and deceptions than a roomful of triple agents. We have witnessed the rebirth of an icon, -- Scott Mariani, Number One Sunday Times Bestselling author of the Ben Hope seriesElegant as smoke, ruthless as steel, Karla’s Choice is a love letter to fans of Smiley, but it’s also got le Carre’s furious humanity and Harkaway’s playful intellect.
