The whole trilogy (Tinker, Schoolboy, Smiley's People) is the best complete work of spy fiction ever written. Tinker and Smiley's People in particular are 10/10, rivalled only by The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, which is also by Le Carre.

Bluffs, double bluffs, deductive reasoning, lies, manipulation — it's like watching a grandmaster chess game play out, except with spies, double-agents and counterintelligence operatives instead of chess pieces.
