An old acquaintance shot dead on Hampstead Heath, an old woman in Paris promised the return of a daughter shell never see, a photograph taken in a Hamburg brothel - and George Smiley is called out of retirement ...

THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG
by Norman Mailler · Little, Brown
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, a convicted killer becomes the first prisoner to be executed in the United States.

The Executioner's Song is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks, right into the heart of American loneliness and violence–it is impossible to put down and difficult to forget.
