«A Perfect Spy» is the spy novel by John le Carré, published by Coronet Books in paperback (608 pages, in English).
Magnus Pym, a senior figure in British intelligence, disappears; his superiors, colleagues and wife try to locate him while his secret life is reconstructed. The novel alternates the search with his formation as a spy, marked by a conman father and two mentors of opposing ideals, and portrays deceit and betrayal in all his relationships.
The novel was originally published in 1986; this Coronet Books edition came out in May 1994.
It is aimed at fans of spy novels and thrillers with an interest in character psychology.
David John Moore Cornwell, known by his pen name John le Carré, was an English author. Many of his espionage novels have been adapted for film or television. He has been described as a "sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer", and is considered one of the greatest novelists of the postwar era. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). Near the end of his life, le Carré became an Irish citizen.
