It had come from the north in the mist driven by the night wind smelling of the sea. There it would stay all Winter threadbare on the gray earth an icy sharp dust; not thawing and freezing but static like a year without seasons. The changing mist like the smoke of war would hang over it swallow up nw a hanger now the radar but now the machines; release them piece by piece drained of colour black carrion on a white desert."<br> THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD won the Maugham Award for 1964. J.B. Priestley called that book 'a superbly constructed story with an atmosphere of chilly hell' and C.P Snow acclaimed John le Carré as 'the best wirter of spy stories living or dead'.
