Alternate cover edition for ISBN13: 9780340554449 . Stella Rode has written two letters to the Christian Voice 's problem column: the first was a tip for preparing pastry; the second declares that her husband may be planning to kill her. And by the time George Smiley is handed the second letter, Stella is already dead. Travelling to the old, cloistered institution of Carne School, Smiley discovers that neither the very respectable people of the school nor the murder are as straightforward as they appear. A MURDER OF QUALITY is an ingenious mystery - with all of le Carré's unmatched skill for deft plotting - and a wry, intelligent commentary on class warfare of a particularly bloody kind.

Murder and conspiracy go up in smoke..."The champion deceiver of our time". -- New York Times Anthony Cade never suspected that a simple errand on behalf of a friend would make him the centerpiece of a murderous international conspiracy. Someone would stop at nothing to prevent the monarchy from being restored in faraway Herzoslovakia. The combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Surete can do no better than go in circles -- until the final murder at Chimneys, the great country estate that yields up an amazing secret.
