Originally published in 1963, John Le Carré's Cold War spy novel unfolds the story of British spy Alec Leamas and his epic fight against the Communist East (personified by Hans-Dieter Mundt of the East German Secret Service, Abteilung). Known for its complex plot and commentary on Western methods of espionage, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold captivates listeners as an enthralling game of wits played out in East Germany.
