Best author of the spy genre, in my opinion, has passed away aged 89.
Been reading a few of his more recent books the past few weeks.
Sad to read this tonight, but what a life he had.
RIP David

That is sad news. I've always admired his work and was fortunate enough to meet him at a restaurant in Falmouth about 12 years ago.
The fact that he was an intelligence officer himself made the detailing of his writing something very special.
I think I've mentioned on here before that imo 'Tinker, Tailor' and 'Smileys People' are the best British TV productions ever made.
RIP Mr Cornwell.
