A Legacy of Spies
A Legacy of Spies is a 2017 spy novel by British writer John le Carré. It is both a prequel and a sequel to John le Carré's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It was the last of le Carré's novels to include his regular protagonist George Smiley, although le Carré's son Nick Harkaway would subsequently pen the continuation novel Karla's Choice which features Smiley and many of the father's other characters. As of 2026, a BBC television adaptation using the novel's title and material from the novel and The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is currently in production.
