About This Novel
"Conjuring the Dead" is the debut novel by the British literary master John Le Carré. The classic character and legendary spy George Smiley, who runs through Le Carré's spy novels, makes his debut in this book. The novel tells the story of Samuel Finnan, a Foreign Office official who died after leaving a suicide note after Smiley's routine questioning. However, an appointment reminder phone call and a letter from the deceased proved that the truth was not as simple as suicide. The case was full of doubts, and the people involved died inexplicably. Smiley risked his life and was attacked by a sneak attack. When the intricate clues gradually became clear and the story came to mind, Smiley was trapped in the eternal mystery of love and people's hearts, and he didn't know where to go... In the works of Le Carré, the king of spy novels and a master of characterization, George Smiley has become a classic character in the history of British literature comparable to Sherlock Holmes. In addition to interpreting wonderful spy stories, this character also shows a level of humanity and depth that cannot be matched by ordinary novels.
