Fans of thriller writer David Cornwell – better known by his pen name John le Carré – may have thought they had seen the last of recurring protagonist George Smiley when the author died in 2020. Yet the beloved spy is set to return next autumn – this time penned by Cornwell’s son.
Publisher Penguin Random House (PRH) has announced a currently untitled novel by Nicholas Cornwell, who writes as Nick Harkaway, set during the decade that passes between the end of le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and the beginning of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
