回复 :Quote:这部是 "所谓的Smiley三部曲的终结。Smiley最终胜利了，不过这并不能给他带来一丝快乐，因为他知道英国在冷战中无关大局。Smiley是James Bond的反面，矮胖，穿不合身的衣服，以研究德语古诗歌为爱好，妻子不忠。Alec Guiness演的Smiley很有名，le Carre也很满意，专门有书献给Guiness。"

回复 :Morse finds himself the subject of a murder investigation when his friend, Beryl Newsome, is murdered at a rehearsal of the Magic Flute and he foolishly touches the murder weapon. Morse is suspended and DCI Bottomley, with DS Lewis assisting him, is put in charge of the case. Morse feels that he was set-up and looks to his past to see who, among the many criminals he arrested, might now be setting about seeking revenge. When someone scratches masonic symbols all over his car and he is reported for erratic driving, Morse wonders if Masons may somehow be involved. When a large number of his personal items are found in Beryl's apartment, Morse is placed under arrest.
