Simply the greatest author of the 20th century I.M.H.O. If I'm ever asked for my Desert Island Discs, my book would be "The Karla Trilogy", which combines "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", "The Honourable Schoolboy" and "Smiley's People". He is one of the few spy book writers to have successfully dealt with the post Cold War situation.
