Bestselling English-Irish novelist John le Carré joined the Open Books family in 2005. That year Open Books published two of his most celebrated works: the Cold War spy masterpiece The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and the genre-defining Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Open Books followed up with Call for the Dead in 2007, which introduced his most famous recurring character, George Smiley, and the acclaimed espionage novel Absolute Friends in 2010.
In 2017, Le Carré took on the ambitious task of writing A Legacy of Spies, which serves as both a prequel and sequel to The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. The novel, as thrilling and captivating as any, arrived in Korean translation in 2020, much to the delight of the country's many George Smiley fans.
Le Carré passed away at Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro on December 12, 2020, at the age of 89.
