Order of John Le Carre Books

Despite his French pen name, novelist John le Carre was quintessentially British. A former British intelligence officer, he began writing spy fiction in the early sixties. Because of his background as a foreign officer, le Carre could not publish under his real name, David Cornwell. In contrast to the James Bond series, le Carre’s characters are more complex, and his spy novels focus more on psychological elements than on physical action. Le Carre passed away on December 12, 2020.
