0c67893ef7 Call for the Dead Call for the Dead UNABRIDGED (4 hrs and 44 mins) By John le Carr Narrated By Michael Jayston Whispersync for Voice-ready Overall(8)Performance(8)Story(8) View full details > This novel, set in London in the late 1950s, finds George Smiley engaged in the humdrum job of security vetting. The chase is on for a missing husband, a devoted father, and a life-time secret agent. Her Majesty's financially troubled government is seeking admission to Europe's Common Market just as anti-British factions are rising to power in Germany. Westerby is pointed east, to Hong Kong. All of the images we have created for Chucks covers are oblique is a way that I think feels right for the author.

Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend. My best advice to get to know your characters is to push them from the ordinary world into the extraordinary world quickly! Their reactions to the extraordinary world will help you both unpeel the character and give the story the propulsive entertainment it needs to keep the reader glued. Have you listened to any of Michael Jaystons other performances before? How does this one compare? Michael Jayston always gives a top class performance, this book was no different. It is an important in between book in the Karla Triology but I feel the plot got lost somewhere in the middle. 1 of 1 people found this review helpful Show More Report Inappropriate Content If you find this review inappropriate and think it should be removed from our site, let us know. What the Critics Say "All the good things are there: the Balkan complexities of plot; the Dickensian profusion of idiosyncratic characters; and above all, le Carr's glistening social observation."
