In Memory of John le Carre

We are very saddened to hear of the death of David Cornwell, better known by his pen name of John le Carre.

John le Carre was a British author who worked for both the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service before becoming a full-time author.

His arguably best known title is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy which was made into BBC miniseries in 1979 and a film of the same name in 2011 featuring the famous faces of Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch. John le Carre made a cameo in the film.
