“Only make no laws, no fine theories, no judgements, and the people may love, but give them one theory, one slogan, and the game begins again.”

Call for the Dead was a very enjoyable read, short and captivating. In equal parts a thought provoking look at ideologies and a delightful mystery, that slowly unravels until all puzzle pieces fit into place, le Carré delivers a compelling story in his debut novel.
