Arrow's not just a cult label you know, and it's highly praised because it's a well written, well plotted real world thriller from a time when you still had intelligent thrillers made for intelligent and educated adults. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is about the only thing along those lines that I've seen since the beginning of this century.
